We kick off On Assignment’s Summer Mini Series with CBS News 60 Minutes producer and duPont winner, Nicole Young. 

In this episode, Nicole talks about the power of the follow-up, and how one unplanned question led to the best moment in Hard Times, a story about homelessness in Florida.

On Assignment brings you some of the best conversations from the Columbia Journalism School, produced and hosted by the school's Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Awards.

The duPont-Columbia Awards honor the best in audio-visual reporting across platforms including broadcast, documentary, local investigative, radio and interactive journalism. We started the On Assignment Podcast to go behind the scenes and bring you the conversations we were having with the leading journalists in the field, many of whom are also past duPont Award winners.
