Are We Losing the News?

I was watching a GPB documentary about mentally-ill men being released from prison, the other night, and although I very rarely watch the public broadcast channel (for reasons I'm not sure of), it was a very interesting piece and there were no commercials, which was an added bonus. Anyway, to make a long story longer, after it went off, I saw that Tavis Smiley was coming on. I had never watched the show and figured I'd see what it was about. To my surprise, he just happened to be interviewing a Pulitzer Prize winning journalist named Alex S. Jones who had written a book titled Losing the News. The interview is pretty interesting and it correlates directly to many of the things we talk about in class. I couldn't get the full interview to embed, but this is the url: http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/video/flv/generic.html?s=tavi08s2fdaqb51 in case you want to see the whole thing. The video I am embedding is a 2 minute highlight. Hope you enjoy.
