WAYS TO CONNECT

  • Join us as we bid Radio Friends with Paul Pepper a fond farewell. We’ll remember the team’s six decades on the mid-Missouri airwaves, 14 of which were right here on KBIA. Also, reporters in Alabama arrested for reporting on grand jury activity, CBS announces a new team to report on disinformation and a debate on whether sports journalists should be allowed to be on teams they cover. From the Missouri School of Journalism professors Amy Simons, Earnest Perry and Kathy Kiely: Views of the News.
  • Should ESPN apologize? Sports radio hosts and commentators across the country are calling on ESPN to apologize for doctoring a three-year-old video interview done by another network and publishing it on their X, formerly known as Twitter. They said they didn’t mean to mislead, but did they go far enough in acknowledging their error? Also, President Biden’s executive order regulating artificial intelligence, another U.S. journalist jailed in Russia, and the release of “Killers of the Flower Moon.” From Missouri School of Journalism professors Amy Simons, Earnest Perry and Kathy Kiely: Views of the News.

  • Travis Kelce apparently has a new biggest fan: Taylor Swift. Her appearance in a GEHA Field skybox alongside his mother Sunday afternoon made headlines nationwide. How did that take over the news cycle? Also, Rupert Murdoch steps down from Fox and News Corp; the WGA reaches a tentative deal, and the FCC signals a return to net neutrality.

  • It’s a new era for NBC’s Meet the Press. How did Kristen Welker do in her debut? Was an interview with Donald Trump the right way to set the tone? Also, the founder of Rolling Stone is axed from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame board, and why Nickelback wants to talk about why everyone hates Nickelback. From Missouri School of Journalism professors Amy Simons, Luke Capizzo and Kathy Kiely: Views of the News.

  • When is it appropriate for a journalist to shift from observer to participant? We’ve seen the likes of Anderson Cooper and Dr. Sanjay Gupta jump in when their special skills could help in life-or-death situations, but it is right? Is it journalistically ethical? Or does it not matter when we’re talking about showing our humanity? Also, why a collegiate paper in Florida turned down an advertisement for mail order abortion pills, the latest chapter in Maria Ressa’s fight for freedom, and how Barstool Sports has been skirting copyright laws on viral videos.
