  • CNN journalist Laura Coates was interviewing a jury consultant outside former President Trump’s trial in Manhattan when a man set himself on fire. Coates reported, live, for more than two minutes on what she saw, heard and smelled. A master class in reporting or unnecessarily televising violence? Also, the death of former AP journalist and one-time hostage, Terry Anderson, and how Kansas teens fought their school district – and won.

  • The death of O.J. Simpson has brought up many questions for those in the news media, things we haven’t thought about since the mid-1990’s. What’s changed in how we approach covering domestic violence, race and the criminal justice system? What effect did the criminal and civil cases have on American pop culture? Also, an NPR editor’s criticism of the network leads to some introspection among staffers, movie marketing gone wrong, and the portrayal of journalists on the silver screen.

  • Where’d the sun go?! Now that the 2024 eclipse has passed, we’ll talk about what made Monday’s phenomenon magical, and how that was reflected in the coverage. Also, Facebook’s apology to a Kansas publication, why a Colorado reporter was thrown out of a GOP event on public property and the crowning of the 2024 NCAA basketball champs.

  • We’re a few days into the roll cart roll out. We’ll talk about the community’s response to the latest chapter in Columbia’s trash saga. Also, Report for America limits partnerships with newsrooms owned by hedge funds and data-informed solutions to staving off burnout among journalists.

  • As digital news organizations shutter, many of their archives go dark. Sure, it costs to continue to host websites, but what’s lost when the websites are wiped entirely? Also, why journalists don’t identify juveniles charged with crimes, and two free speech cases go before the Supreme Court.

  • The Kansas City Chiefs are once again the Super Bowl champs! We’ll talk about coverage of the big win, what kept the viewers tuned in – on two networks and online – and which commercials scored with audiences. Also, Tucker Carlson’s trip to Moscow and why people say they’re turning down free newspaper subscriptions.
