Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
After years of complaining of excessive government secrecy, watchdog groups hope the Obama administration will usher in a new approach to disseminating and declassifying government documents. But they continue grapple with tricky questions about the future of transparency. How do you analyze millions (or billions) of e-mails, scanned documents and web-videos? And what information should remain shielded from the public? We explore new challenges and frontiers facing 21st century watchdogs.
Guests
