Kansas City, Mo. – Kansas City's alterative weekly newspaper The Pitch recently changed owners. Village Voice Media sold the paper to the small newspaper chain SouthComm based in Nashville, Tenn. Last month, the paper named Scott Wilson, previously the paper's copy editor since 2001, as the new editor. KCUR's Susan B. Wilson sat down with Scott Wilson to talk about the recent changes.

A native of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, Susan admits that her “first love” was radio, being an avid listener since childhood. However, she spent much of her career in mental health, healthcare administration, and sports psychology (Susan holds a PhD in clinical psychology from the University of Pittsburgh in Pittsburgh Pennsylvania and an MBA from the Bloch School of Business at UMKC.) In the meantime, Wilson satisfied her journalistic cravings by doing public speaking, providing “expert” interviews for local television, and being a guest commentator/contributor to KPRS’s morning drive time show and the teen talk show “Generation Rap.”
