Media Roundtable

On the next Your Call, it's our Friday Media Roundtable. This week, we'll discuss coverage of the latest Census Bureau data showing that the US poverty rate rose to 15.1% in 2010, the highest rate in 50 years. One in six Americans is now living in poverty. Who is covering the poor? We'll also talk about the Taliban attacks in Afghanistan. We'll be joined by the Sacramento Bee's Phillip Reese, the Huffington Post's Arthur Delaney, and independent journalist Anna Badkhen joins us from Kabul, Afghanistan. Join us at 10 or email feedback@yourcallradio.org. Where did you see the best reporting this week? It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

 Guests:
Phillip Reese, staff reporter with The Sacramento Bee

Arthur Delaney, an economic reporter for the Huffington Post

Anna Badkhen, an independent journalist and the author of Peace Meals and Waiting for the Taliban
