The Media Scrum
Mark Saal and Don Porter, co-hosts of The Media Scrum, have a combined 59 years worth of experience in Utah newspaper (and broadcast) journalism. Even though both have moved on to other lines of work — Don is a retired public relations manager and Mark as a high school English teacher — they remain intensely interested in the condition of journalism in the Beehive State and elsewhere. This biweekly podcast features interviews with people who also share an interest in, and have experience with, Utah news media and beyond.

Episode 45
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.
