CounterSpin
Counterspin is FAIR's weekly radio show, hosted by Janine Jackson, Steve Rendall and Peter Hart. It's heard on more than 125 noncommercial stations across the United States and Canada. Counterspin provides a critical examination of the major stories every week, and exposes what the mainstream media might have missed in their own coverage.
This week on CounterSpin: As the fighting continues in eastern Ukraine, Russia’s President Putin has proposed a peace plan, and NATO is meeting to discuss Ukraine, among other things. What are the prospects for peace, and how is the press doing in helping us understand the events in Ukraine? We’ll talk with University of Massachusetts professor David Kotz.
Also this week: Is this a golden age for investigative journalism? Anya Schiffrin has edited a new collection of global muckracking, and she sees some good news for journalism. She’ll join us to explain.
