Your Call 102607 Media Roundtable

On the next Your Call, it's our Friday Media Roundtable. This week, Southern California burned. Did the reporters covering the fires connect the emergency with larger ecological and social trends? Also this week battles raged on the border of Turkey and Iraq and within the halls of power in Istanbul. Did you see or hear reporting that covered more than the blow-by-blow and provided the context to help you understand what's at stake? What was your story of the week? It's Your Call, with me, Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Robert Parry in Healdsburg, California
Founder and editor of Consortium News

David Roberts in Seattle, Wash.
Staff writer for Grist and blogmaster of Gristmill

Evrim Bunn in Washington DC
