MURFREESBORO — An
MTSU junior and scholarship winner will explain the careers available in
“outdoor journalism” on the next “MTSU On the Record” radio program.
Host Gina Logue’s interview with Angele Latham will air from
9:30 to 10 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 9, and from 6 to 6:30 a.m. Sunday, Jan. 14, on
WMOT-FM Roots Radio 89.5 and www.wmot.org.
Latham, a journalism major from Bon Aqua, Tennessee, is the
2017 recipient of the Lindsay Sale-Tinney Award from the Outdoor Journalist
Education Foundation of America. She received the honor at the annual
conference of the Southeastern Outdoor Press Association, which took place Oct.
18-21 in Gilbertsville, Kentucky.
The stipend will enable the nature lover to report on
various aspects of outdoor life ranging from hunting and fishing to
conservation and birdwatching. Latham said she does not hunt, but she
acknowledged that her readership will include both hunters who defend the
Second Amendment and environmentalists who insist on as little disturbance of
the animal kingdom as possible.
“Hunters do appreciate wildlife just as much as
(non-hunters) do,” Latham said. “Really, you do have to adapt to both
(audiences) because we both appreciate nature … I can’t … reach the audiences I want unless I understand
what I’m presenting.”
