Media Roundtable

On the next Your Call, it's our Friday Media Roundtable. This week, we'll discuss coverage of the unrest in London and the S&P's decision to lower the US credit rating. We'll also talk about Texas Governor Rick Perry's prayer rally. More people attended a back to school event for the poor down the street. We'll be joined by the Houston Chronicle's Carol Christian and the New York Review of Books contributor Jeff Madrick and Guardian's Zoe Williams. 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:
