Your Call 040309 Media Roundtable

On the next Your Call it's our Friday media roundtable, where we bring in reporters from the mainstream, alternative and international press to discuss the week in American media. This week President Obama joined the leaders of the 20 largest national economies to hammer out an agreement on the global financial crisis. Secretary of State Clinton was in Afghanistan cajoling neighbors and partners to join a renewed American diplomatic and military commitment to the country. Benjamin Netanyahu became Prime Minster of Israel again. Send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org or call 866-798-8255. We'll discuss the coverage of all this with Tim Redmond of the San Francisco Bay Guardian and Glenn Greenwald, independent filmmaker just back from Afghanistan. Where did you see the best reporting this week and where did it fall short? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.
