Jai Smith, Founder and Editor-in-Chief: Lehigh Daily
On this episode we're joined by Jai Smith. Jai is the founder and editor-in-chief of Lehigh Daily. Lehigh Daily is a hyperlocal newsroom covering my community- the Lehigh Valley part of Pennsylvania. It has a presence not just as a website but as an Instagram account with 24,000 followers and a TikTok with 28,000 followers. And it's just over a year old.
Jai explained why he started the newsroom, how he and a small staff pursue stories and videos, and what he hopes this project will eventually become.
