Skip Foster, Publisher of the Tallahassee Democrat, joins the Chamber podcast to talk through his career, the everyday triumphs and tribulations of a news team, life as a newspaper publisher and his take on some of Tallahassee’s top issues including crime, economic growth and more.
“I’ve got a long fuse in my business, but it gets a little short when I hear people talking about crime hot spots. I think that is a way of trying to diminish the problem,” Skip said during the interview. Listen to the rest of his thoughts on crime in Tallahassee in this episode.
