Cory talks with Owen Conflenti, a popular news anchor for KPRC in Houston, TX. Despite being a little older than the average TikTok user, Owen has found a way to capture the attention of a youthful audience there with his creative and fun videos that recreate top TikTok trends with a newsroom twist. Owen talks to Cory about what initially drew him to the app, where he gets his ideas from, and how he balances making TikToks with his pressing job as a morning news anchor. Owen also discusses the relationship between social media and journalism and what he thinks his responsibility to his audience is, first as a journalist and then as a content creator.
