Your Call 062008 Media Roundtable

On the next Your Call it's our Friday Media Roundtable where we discuss how the news of the week was covered. This week, the New York Times ran the headline, "Sense of Calm as Gay Couples Wed in California." While it would be easy to criticize the Times and say the true emotion was joy, did this headline and overall coverage of the nuptials capture the true spirit of the week? We'll also talk about coverage of Tim Russert's death and the success of a local newspaper unionization drive. On the next Your Call with Sandip Roy and you.

Guests:
Bill Scher in Northhampton, MA
Online editor for Campaign for America's Future, executive editor of LiberalOasis.com and author of Wait! Don't Move To Canada!: A Stay-and-Fight Strategy to Win Back America

Janet Kornblum in San Francisco
Staff reporter for USA Today in San Francisco

Sara Steffens in San Francisco
Staff reporter at the Contra Costa Times and co-chair of the successful union organizing campaign at the Bay Area News Group.
