News Man Weekly: Mansfield labor contracts, wild news weekend and the newest Source reporters

MANSFIELD — Episode 61 of News Man Weekly is here and the Old News Man is running the newsroom while the boss is on vacation.

Deputy Managing Editor Carl Hunnell, joined as always by executive producer Zac Hiser and videographer Hayden Gray, takes listeners through a wild weekend of headlines — from Mansfield City Council’s looming labor contract decisions to a tragic crash in Franklin Township, plus the crowd-pleasing announcement that the Budweiser Clydesdales are headed to the area in September. 

Later in the show, Hunnell welcomes the three newest members of the Source Media reporting team: Jack Slemenda at Knox Pages, Taylor Henninger at Ashland Source, and Hannah Martin at Richland Source.

The trio shares why they chose journalism, what they’ve learned so far about their communities and where they hope their careers will take them. It’s a conversation that bridges generations of newsroom experience, from electric typewriters to TikTok videos.
