Media Roundtable

On the next Your Call, it's our Friday Media Roundtable. This week, we'll talk about coverage of the five-year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina. And many in the national media say the oil in the Gulf has disappeared. Locals say the disaster is far from over. We'll also discuss the lack of coverage of the devastating floods in Pakistan. We'll be joined by Brentin Mock, a New Orleans-based reporter with ColorLines, The News International's Riaz Daudzai, and The Times-Picayune's David Hammer. Join us live at 11 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. What caught your attention in the media this week? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Brentin Mock, a New Orleans-based reporter with ColorLines

David Hammer, staff writer with The Times-Picayune

Riaz Daudzai, a reporter with The News International newspaper based in Peshawar, Pakistan
