Pete Muntean was born into aviation but a tragic airshow accident that took his mother’s life forced him to consider his future as a pilot and journalist. In this edition of Update-1, Muntean speaks with NPC Broadcast/Podcast co-vice chair and aviation industry communicator Adam Konowe about that fateful day and the coverage that followed. Muntean also addresses his approach to journalism as a certified flight instructor, challenges associated with covering aviation and other transportation modes, the value of aviation trade media, as well as working with communicators and sources.
