Holly dreamt of working in journalism and attending grad school since grade school. And live that dream she did.After earning her master’s in journalism from Columbia, she started in trade pubs, moved to reporting for her hometown The Tennessean, and then founded BirdDog. During that time, Holly’s field changed. Legacy journalism slowly and steadily abandoned deep investigation, exhaustive data analysis, and the stories readers needed to know. That’s when she made the leap to in-house communications and media strategy. It wasn’t a seamless transition. But she realized audiences still craved expert knowledge and insights. Now Holly’s able to disseminate vital healthcare news in a manner she never would have considered during grad school.Books &amp; other resources mentionedNo Time to Spare by Ursula Le GuinClay Christensen’s worksBen Thompson’s “Stratechery” newsletterA sample of Holly’s workVanderbilt Health DNA: Discoveries in Action podcastBirdDogCheck out more from The Work SeminarVisit theworkseminar.com or find @TheWorkSeminar on social media. Sign up for The Work Seminar newsletter to receive updates straight to your inbox.Support the show (https://ko-fi.com/theworkseminar)

 Ep. 11: Holly Fletcher - MS in Journalism Turned Media & Communications Strategist

Holly Fletcher founded BirdDog earlier this year to bring "slow news" to healthcare, tech and economic issues in Tennessee. The goal is to provide deep reporting on issues that affect the state, including some - like healthcare - that ripple out to the rest of the country. With Nashville as a national hub for the healthcare industry, the response of Tennessee health systems to policies and trends have an effect elsewhere. In this conversation, we talk about Fletcher's approach to covering the news (lots of data), the trends people are talking about (transparency and balanced billing), the things making healthcare companies nervous (again, transparency and balanced billing), challenges to making long-term progress in those areas, and holding policymakers accountable by asking hard questions.

Guest: Holly Fletcher, healthcare reporter My guest today is Holly Fletcher, healthcare reporter for Nashville’s daily newspaper, The Tennessean. She joins me for an in-depth conversation about the origin of the current opioid crisis and the actions being taken by everyone from the federal government to local health agencies as they try to get a grasp on the situation. She also shares some of the first-hand knowledge she’s gained by listening to a wide array of people who have been affected by this epidemic’s medical, economic and social repercussions.
