Kim Bui left her job at KPCC in Pasadena, Calif., a couple years ago. Now she is the West Coast producer for Reported.ly, the social media newsroom run by First Look Media.
Bui said part of what leads people like her to jump ship is just frustration — public media newsrooms have been slow to go all-in on digital. But the biggest factor, she said, is that “there’s no way to move up.”
