Montana Getty: Journalism, Sports, Politics

Montana Getty has multiple passions for sports, media and
politics flowing through her blood. Her grandfather is the late
Don Getty, premiere of Alberta from 1985 to 1992, and quarterback
of the Edmonton (then) Eskimos starting in 1955. Rarely does your
family play into the context of a podcast episode, but given that
the Getty name has so much to do with sport, politics, Alberta,
oil, and now media.


In this episode, you will hear why Montana chose a career in
broadcasting and how she fulfils her other passions like sport
and politics. Her broadcast career has gone from NAIT, to the
streets of Edmonton, to Dawson Creek and now to Saskatoon. We
also covered how she manages to keep her journalism work
positive. We also talked about how she has to overcome harassment
on the job, and perceived journalistic imbalances and
misconceptions because of her family name. Montana did share what
gets discussed at the holiday table, and why she loves the New
York Yankees.
