21-WFMJ News Podcast

Covering the dismantling of Steward Health involves reading court dockets and staying fluid with story angles

August 30, 2024 21-WFMJ Newsroom Season 1 Episode 22

In this week's Outcue podcast, 21 News Assistant News Director Justin Mitchell and Senior Digital Content Manager Robert McFerren discuss the story behind the story, looking at the fast-changing coverage of the Steward Health bankruptcy filings.

Our coverage has been following the bankruptcy court case in Texas and reporting those looking to place bids for control of Trumbull Regional, Hillside Rehabilitation, and the satellite facilities.

These stories we start working on in the morning may be completely different by the afternoon. 

We discuss keeping up with fluid stories like these and the importance of keeping everyone informed on the importance of these hospitals— from caring for the community to providing good-paying jobs to the tax revenue brought in to pay for essential services.
