Longtime Sacramento journalist Joe Barr is Capital Public Radio’s strategic leader for content creation for CapRadio News, CapRadio Music and Capradio.org. While most news organizations have seen a stark decline in staffing over the past decade, Barr has led a major expansion in the station's news department. He also developed CapRadio's statewide news service, the Capital Public Radio Network, which reaches about three-million listeners a week on more about 50 public radio stations. Joe joined us by phone to chat about CapRadio's approach to their news and music stations, the struggles of producing a torrent of election year news programming during a pandemic, and what comes next for CapRadio.
