Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Websites and online applications such as Stimulus Watch and EarmarkWatch are casting new light on the way federal agencies spend taxpayer dollars. Now journalists, bloggers and transparency advocates are applying the same model to state and local governments in our region. We get a local perspective on transparency, technology and news-gathering.
