On the next Your Call it's our Friday media roundtable where we examine the week that was in American media. This week President Obama delivered his first address to a joint session of Congress, and Hearst announced the days of the San Francisco Chronicle were numbered unless a buyer was found soon. We'll be joined by Doug Henwood from the Left Business Observer, Jane Mayer from the New Yorker and Mark Sandalow, author of Madam Speaker: Nancy Pelosi's Life, Times and Rise to Power. Where did you see the best reporting this week and where did it fall short? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
