Your Call 041709 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 the captain of an American freighter was freed from Somali pirates, layoffs were announced at the Chronicle and Wednesday was tax day. We'll be joined by Pulitzer Prize winning tax reporter David Cay Johnston; Joe Garofoli, media reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle, and Peter Waldman from Portfolio Magazine. Where did you see the best reporting this week and where did it fall short? It's Your Call with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Joe Garofoli in San Francisco
Staff reporter for the San Francisco Chronicle where he covers media

David Cay Johnston in LaGuardia
Two-time Pulitzer Prize winner, former New York Times tax reporter and author of Free Lunch: How the Wealthiest Americans Enrich Themselves at Government Expense (and Stick You with the Bill) now out in paperback

Peter Waldman in San Francisco
