Mary Nickles
The Media Scrum
06/22/21 • 70 min
This week we have a conversation with Mary Nickles, whose career at KUTV in Salt Lake City has passed the 30-year mark. 30 years is forever in TV news, and Mary has been the morning, noon or evening anchor on KUTV’s various news programs for almost all that time. Not only is she a pro on the news set, but she’s done health stories over the years that have actually saved lives – including her own. She talks about that, and lots more, on this episode. We had lots of fun talking to Mary, and we hope you enjoy our conversation.
Julie Williamson
The Media Scrum
04/27/21 • 61 min
This week we’re talking to Julie Williamson, our friend and former co-worker. Don met Julie at Utah State University when both were on the staff of the Utah Statesman, and they later worked together at the Standard-Examiner before Julie decamped for the Deseret News. Julie is a copy editor, which newspapers need but few have nowadays.
Dennis Romboy
The Media Scrum
01/26/21 • 69 min
Today we’re lucky to have as our guest Dennis Romboy, a University of Utah grad who began his career at the Standard-Examiner in Ogden, but soon left for the Deseret News, where he’s worked for decades. Dennis has had all sorts of beats during his reporting career, but is probably most well-known for his coverage of politics. He’s an interesting guy who’s had an interesting career and, as you’ll discover while listening, he’s traveled the world doing the thing that he loves.
August Miller
The Media Scrum
12/22/20 • 70 min
Today we talk with August Miller, a Cache Valley native and longtime photojournalist for the Standard-Examiner, Sporting News and the Deseret News. Mark and I worked with August for many years at the Standard, and it was nice to reconnect with our old friend. August has spent much of the past decade working at Utah Valley University, where he is director of photography. He has some great stories about photojournalism from his days in the newspaper and magazine trenches.
Craig Bielik
The Media Scrum
11/17/20 • 71 min
Today we talk with Craig Bielik, longtime marketing director at the Standard-Examiner newspaper in Ogden, Utah, before becoming the director of communications and public relations at Ogden Regional Medical Center. A lot of comedy fans will know Craig from his side gig as a standup comedian – performing at Wiseguys and at clubs and venues all over the West. Craig tells us how he got into the marketing and news business, and shares some funny stories about his 13 years at the S-E and performing comedy. Also, he’s a pretty fair rock 'n’ roll drummer and knows more about most great rock bands than most of the rest of us have forgotten.
Mary Dickson
The Media Scrum
10/27/20 • 44 min
Mary Dickson recently retired from KUED, where she was not only in management but is still a fixture as host of the "Contact" series. Mary started out at the Deseret News, writing feature stories of consequence. Her stories about that experience are classics. She's a playwright, former film critic for City Weekly and KSL’s “The Movie Show,” and has written a book about her experience hosting foreign exchange students at the University of Utah.
Rod Arquette
The Media Scrum
08/25/20 • 65 min
Mark and Don talk to Rod Arquette, an Upstate New York native who moved West for college and eventually worked for KUTV, KSL and other outlets. Rod's been a player in the Utah radio market for decades, and for the past 10 years has hosted a popular afternoon talk show on KNRS, where he follows the likes of Rush Limbaugh and Sean Hannity.
Morgan Saxton -- REPEAT
The Media Scrum
09/28/21 • 59 min
This week we're repeating our September 2020 conversation with KUTV reporter Morgan Saxton, who near the start of her career worked with Mark at the Standard-Examiner. In retrospect, it’s been quite a year for Morgan, who not long after this interview revealed she was expecting her first child and has since given birth to her beautiful daughter, Charlotte.
Amy Joi O'Donoghue
The Media Scrum
04/05/22 • 51 min
This time on The Media Scrum we speak with Amy Joi O’Donoghue, a reporter for the Deseret News’ Utah In-Depth team with decades of expertise and award-winning writing in police, government, land and environmental issues. Mark and I have known Amy since 1985, when we all worked together at the Standard-Examiner in Ogden. Amy’s family lives in Weber County with their horses, chickens, Irish Wolfhounds and Jack the cat.
Amy Donaldson -- REPEAT
The Media Scrum
08/17/21 • 58 min
We’ve been running some repeats this summer because we are human beings who take vacations and have other things happening in our lives. Plus, this gives us a chance to reintroduce some of our favorite episodes in case you haven’t yet heard them. This week we’re repeating our conversation with Amy Donaldson, longtime reporter for the Deseret News who moved over to KSL to work in its popular podcasts sector. We talked to Amy in April about the career transition and her many years covering news and sports and all sorts of journalistic endeavors. We pick up the conversation after some initial technical hiccups on our Zoom call. We hope you enjoy the conversation as much as we did.
