The condo collapse in Surfside, Florida is clearly one of the biggest national news stories

of the year.

But locally, in Surfside and in Miami, it is also deeply personal, including for the reporters

who are covering and living the news.

So that's the subject for this week's Reliable Sources podcast.

Let's cue the music.

I'm Brian Stelter, and this weekly podcast is our chance to go more in depth, talking

with media leaders and newsmakers about the reporting process and how the news is made.

This week, with all eyes on Surfside, on that collapse site, with all hopes and prayers

for some sign of life.

Let's talk with Monica Richardson, the executive editor of the Miami Herald.

She has been the editor for six months.

She joined in January from the Atlanta Journal Constitution.

So as she gets settled in what is still a relatively new role, she finds herself leading

a team that is working day and night to chronicle this story.

And she's also thinking about what resources they need and about their mental health.

Monica, thank you so much for joining me.

Thank you for having me, Brian.

It seems like the entire region you cover is a tight-knit family right now, a metropolitan

area brought together by this disaster.

How are you and your colleagues and your neighbors doing?

You know, first I'll say my condolences to the families and everyone impacted by this.
