"I really like what I’m doing. It’s mentally challenging. I’ve got a purpose," Monk told SC Public Radio at his office near downtown Columbia. "I believe in shining the light. I believe every story I do, or any journalist does, makes democracy stronger.”

“How do you as a journalist, like, deal with seeing these people hurting and talking about a very, like, vulnerable moment," one student asked Monk. "How do you, like, personally get through that, too?"
John Monk has survived buyouts/layoffs, business changes, burnout and getting exiled to Kershaw. So I asked the 77-year-old how he's survived in this career for so long and why he still keeps reporting when it feels like the industry changes every day. southcarolinapublicradio.org/sc-news/2024-0…
Monk's a legend
He helped get SC a seatbelt law, covered a nudist colony, jumped out of perfectly good airplanes & can call the Murdaugh case just one of the many crazy things he's covered.

John recommends reporters exercise and get plenty of sleep because "just like an athlete we're in a marathon." I worked with John for 10 years at The State and learned a lot from him. (Except I'm not sure I follow his advice on the sleep part.)
