Summary
Elijah Carll, the new reporter for The Tennessean, didn’t start talking until age three—but now he’s mastering interviews with a secret weapon: magic. Since he was eight, sleight of hand and card tricks taught him how to make people open up, skills that now fuel his journalism. His path was winding—he shadowed a radio host at 15, apprenticed with a magician, and almost went into film before pivoting to journalism thanks to a professor who saw his video storytelling talent. He’s already racked up experience at Texas Standard, KXAN, Austin PBS, and student media, even working at a taco joint before landing in Nashville. With deep ties to the city from childhood visits, he’s ready to dive in, connect with locals, and uncover Nashville’s untold stories—reach out to him on Instagram @elijahreports or email [email protected].
