Media Roundtable

On this week's Friday Media Roundtable, we're discussing coverage of the botched airline bombing. What is missing from the news? And as Iran's media crackdown continues, how do journalists report on the opposition movement there? We'll be joined by Wall Street Journal's Farnaz Fassihi, Dafna Linzer of ProPublica and Center for Investigative Reporting's Robert Rosenthal. Did a story stand out for you because of its reporting?

Join us live at 11 a.m. or send us your comments and questions to feedback@yourcallradio.org. Where did you see the best reporting this week and where did the media fall short? It's Your Call with Holly Kernan and you.

Guests:
Robert Rosenthal, executive director of Center for Investigative Reporting

Dafna Linzer, senior reporter with ProPublica, covering intelligence and nonproliferation

Farnaz Fassihi, the deputy bureau chief of Middle East and Africa for The Wall Street Journal, based in Beirut, Lebanon
