Uncommon Conversations With Maryam Zar And John Harlow

Circling the News Sue Pascoe joins us to talk about small town journalism, using the digital medium to put out her content and the importance of real news from the ground in this day of “fake News” being the mantra to discredit anything that politicians and policy makers see as unflattering. We used this Time magazine article as a jumping point: time.com/5475490/writers-truth-democracy-jennifer-egan. We then talk to Michelle Mayans who leads Kids Scoop Media kidscoopmedia.org/about_us, along with one of her young writers who talks about inspiration, social change, gun control and reporting from the White House (Obama & Trump).
