Peter Schorsch hunkers down with Jenna Buzzacco-Foerster, director of government relations for the Greater Naples Chamber of Commerce and veteran Southeast Florida journalist who spent two years reporting for Florida Politics.



Buzzacco-Foerster reflects on her career as a journalist and discusses the changes in journalism since her years covering various different local and state beats.


Catch an inside glimpse of the Florida Politics newsroom as Peter and Buzzacco-Foerster chat inside jokes that highlight how even a remote newsroom develops lasting friendships among colleagues dedicated to reporting the news.


Like others, Buzzacco-Foerster discusses her new life stuck at home and the dynamics between her style — background noise — and her husband’s — can we please just have some quite time? Buzzacco-Foerster also talks booze and the coronavirus-induced consumption thereof.


At work, Buzzacco-Foerster describes the upheaval to the local economy as coronavirus restrictions began falling into place. Events were canceled and businesses found themselves facing dire situations. Buzzacco-Foerster and the Chamber are working with those companies to identify solutions and help them stay afloat.


Peter also asks about restructuring businesses, particularly restaurants, in an open coronavirus economy as they are forced to reduce dining capacity. How will that affect their models in the immediate term and will it lead to evolving business models into the future?


And what does a former journalist watch while she’s hunkering down in her condo? Tune in for Buzzacco-Foerster’s recommendations.
