Retired Associated Press reporter Michael Graczyk may have witnessed more executions than any journalist in American history. Working at the AP’s Houston bureau, one of Graczyk’s assignments was to cover the Texas Department of Corrections. As part of his job, he witnessed hundreds of executions over his nearly 46-year AP career. In this edition of Update-1, Graczyk talks to NPC Broadcast Podcast member Shannon Fisher about the manner in which he approached his unique and heavy role as a reporter, sharing stories of his interactions with the families of the victims, the inmates and the loved ones of inmates who watched as the death penalty was carried out.
