Santa Barbara Talks Podcast 103: Noozhawk's Tom Bolton

Noozhawk Executive Editor Tom Bolton talks about his amazing career in journalism. Bolton knew when he was in high school that he wanted to be a journalist. At UCSB, he became the editor of the Daily Nexus and then worked at places such as the Santa Maria Times, Santa Barbara News-Press, and eventually as co-owner of Noozhawk. "Most of the people I know who go into this business are good writers, but the best writers anguish over it," Bolton said. "They work really hard with word choices, transitions. If you stop doing that then you writing starts to flatten out." In addition to his editing duties, Bolton writes breaking news reports for Noozhawk. He's typically the first in town to break stories about crime, fire, accidents and other breaking news events. This podcast is an incredible opportunity to hear about the behind-the-scenes workings of Noozhawk, how journalism is created and where the industry is headed, from a professional with more than 40 years of experience.
