Media Roundtable

On the next Your Call, it's our Friday Media Roundtable. This week, we'll discuss coverage of the government shutdown in Minnesota and massive budget cuts in forty-six states. How are journalists covering these cuts? We'll also speak about the phone-hacking scandal engulfing Rupert Murdock's News of the World in the UK. We'll be joined by Minnesota Independent's Sam Lane, Ventura County Star's Timm Herdt and Aljazeera's Richard Gizbert. Where did you see the best reporting this week? Join us live at 10 or send us an email at feedback@yourcallradio.org. It's Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.

Guests:
Sam Lane, a reporter with The Minnesota Independent

Richard Gizbert, host of Listening Post, the media watch broadcast on Al Jazeera English

Timm Herdt, The Ventura County Star's Sacramento Bureau Chief
