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 51
This week's guest is Paul Murphy, Don's friend and fellow journalism student and practitioner at Utah State University. After graduation, Paul began his broadcast journalism career in Texas, then returned to Utah and worked at KTVX for more than a decade. After that, he jumped into government service as Director of Communications and Policy for the attorney general’s office, where he was for a dozen years. And he’s done plenty since, which we talk about. We had a great time chatting with Paul, and really hope you enjoy the conversation.
