Listen now to John Nichols talking about his new book, Uprising: How Wisconsin Renewed the Politics of Protest from Madison to Wall Street.
Reporters
Without Borders is an international organization based in Paris,
France whose mission is to defend freedom of the press, journalists and
netizens all around the world. They put out an annual Press Freedom Index, ranking
press freedom in countries around the world. In their latest index,
the United States has fallen from a rather pathetic 20th to a dismal
47th. On the Reporters Without Borders website, they write that the "United States (47th) also owed its fall of 27 places to the many arrests of journalists covering Occupy Wall Street protests."
Josh Stearns, Program Manager with Free Press, has been closely following the arrests of journalists, and he'll talk about it on Tell Somebody on Tuesday February 21 at 6pm on 90.1 FM KKFI
We'll also talk to Mitzi McFatrich, executive director of Kansas Advocates for Better Care, about Kansas Executive Reorganization Order No. 41, Governor Brownback’s plan to move programs not specific to either aging or disability from SRS and KDHE to the Kansas Department on Aging.
Tune in!
