About this listen
What if you could build a TV news career without uprooting your life, moving to a town you’ve never heard of and delivering live shots from snowstorms in the middle of nowhere?
In One City, One Shot, former journalist Jonathan Horn shares his decade-long journey from earning $40 per article at a weekly newspaper to trusted on-air TV reporter—all while staying rooted in his hometown of San Diego. With honesty, humor, and sharp storytelling, Horn brings listeners behind the scenes of local news: the chaos of breaking stories, the heartbreak of tragedy coverage, the scramble of daily deadlines, and the newsroom camaraderie that holds it all together.
This is a real look at what it’s like to work in local TV—how to break in, how to grow, and how to know when it’s time to walk away.
Perfect for journalism students, entry-level reporters, newsroom veterans or anyone curious about the life behind the camera, One Shot, One City is a candid, inspiring, and human story of carving out a meaningful career without leaving everything behind.
