Today Tyler talks with Priya Sridhar, broadcast journalist/reporter and Navy Reservist Public Officer and Board Member with the Military Veterans Journalism (MVJ) Network. As our service members transition out of service journalism is a field of interest that can be continued or explored through MVJ. They offer a diverse range of programs (https://www.mvj.network/programs/) to help those looking for a new purpose and/or career.
Military Veteran Journalism Mission
Military Veterans in Journalism’s mission is simple: get more military veterans working in America’s newsrooms.
The United States has been at war for more than 18 years at a cost of more than 7,000 lives, about 50,000 wounded and billions in tax dollars. Yet military veterans are vastly underrepresented in our nation’s newsrooms.
While about 7 percent of Americans have served in the armed forces, only 2 percent of media workers are military veterans, according to U.S. Census data.
Veterans bring perspective, nuanced understanding and on-the-ground experience about the military and veteran affairs that ultimately benefits newsrooms and news consumers.
