The Lead: The Nashville Post’s Nicolle Praino on connecting with communities

Nicolle Praino began her career exploring stories beyond the surface to uncover the layers of her community. From Savannah’s WTOC to CNN’s The Row, Praino built a foundation in fact-driven, research-based narratives before entering her current roles — reporter at the Nashville Post and The News and managing editor at the Williamson Scene. 

With each new location, she developed relationship-building strategies to tap into the heart of her stories. Simultaneously, Praino learned what time was necessary for self-reflection after covering emotional events to continue bringing clarity to her coverage.

In this episode, we talk about covering emotional stories, shining a light on local communities and finding a work/life balance.
