Your Call media roundtable

   June 11, 2010

Last Friday, June 4, I was part of KALW’s Media Roundtable. KAWL is a NPR station in San Francisco. The roundtable discusssed media coverage of the Gaza-bound flotilla attacked by Israeli commandos, the ongoing oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico — the oil is now close to Florida — and the escalation of violence in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I was joined by Pratap Chatterjee, an investigative journalist and author, and Paul McGeough, an Australian journalist, and senior foreign correspondent for The Sydney Morning Herald.

Talk about being more than a little over my head.
