Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
On his first day as Governor, David Paterson admitted to a New York newspaper that he’d had an extramarital affair. The next day, Gov. Paterson held a press conference with his wife and gave more details. When is a politician’s private life private, and when is it public? Join Kojo for a look at how the media handles sex scandals, and whether there are any limits on “The Public’s Right To Know.”
Guests
- Mark Jurkowitz Associate Director, Project for Excellence in Journalism; former ombudsman of The Boston Globe.
