On this episode of Story & Craft, we sit down to chat with Journalist and Author Sara Kehaulani Goo from the Washington Post to discuss her career, personal stories, and her new memoir, "Kuleana."Sara shares how her early days in a print newsroom sparked a lifelong passion for storytelling, eventually leading her to cover major national events like the aftermath of 9/11. We chat about her approach to learning the ropes, intentionally moving to unfamiliar cities to broaden her perspective, and the thick skin required to maintain integrity in a fast-paced media landscape. Sara also opens up about the massive digital shift facing the news industry and the ways legacy media is now partnering with independent online creators to reach modern audiences.Beyond the news desk, Sara talks about the inspiration behind her memoir, "Kuleana," which looks at her Hawaiian heritage and her family's fight to hold on to their ancestral land. We discuss the complex realities of life in Hawaii today, the impact of outside real estate investments on the local culture, and, naturally, our shared appreciation for a perfectly made plate of Spam musubi. It is a grounded, eye-opening conversation about history, responsibility, and the importance of knowing where you come from.SHOW HIGHLIGHTS[00:14:00] | The thrill of stepping into a newsroom and the daily pressure to deliver[00:16:37] | Why immersing yourself in unfamiliar cities is the ultimate training ground for storytellers[00:20:19] | How covering the aftermath of 9/11 shaped her understanding of a changing nation[00:22:42] | Recognizing the impending digital disruption of the news industry[00:25:25] | The challenge of funding trusted journalism in a digitally fractured world[00:30:00] | Why traditional legacy media must partner with independent online creators[00:35:32] | The rising trend of journalists cutting out the middleman to build direct audiences[00:40:45] | The thick skin and unwavering principles required to be a reporter today[00:46:45] | The cultural and economic toll of treating Hawaiian real estate strictly as an investment[00:53:00] | The Seven Questions
