On today’s episode, we’re joined by Nick Toso (@rolliapp). Nick spent 7 years at CNN, working largely in a production role on CNN Español. He supervised interviews with world leaders, including president Barack Obama, and was a senior producer for both a daily and weekly news show. He’s currently the founder of Rolli, an app that helps journalists find experts for any story they might be working on.
Nick talked about the lessons learned from his time in TV production, the logistics behind the many interviews he oversaw, and his tips for aspiring journalists. He also explained the purpose of his app, which is free for journalists to use as they try to find subject experts to interview.
