About this listen

In this episode, panel expert Kristin Arnold explores whether journalists automatically make great panel moderators. While journalists excel at interviewing, probing, and uncovering facts, Kristin explains that panel moderation requires additional skills—like balancing airtime, managing multiple voices, and guiding a cohesive conversation. She highlights where journalists shine and where they may stumble if they default to one-on-one interviewing instead of facilitating group dialogue. With the right mindset and preparation, journalists can become excellent moderators—but it's not guaranteed.
