Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
In the 27 years since Victor Navasky became editor at "The Nation", subscriptions for America’s oldest weekly magazine have expanded from 25,000 to over 180,000. Yet since it was founded in 1865, "The Nation" has lost money in all but three years. He joins Kojo to discuss his career, opinion journalism, and the challenges of producing an independent magazine.
