Saying Goodbye To The Kojo Nnamdi Show
On this last episode, we look back on 23 years of joyous, difficult and always informative conversation.
Lots of people are worried that economic woes of the news industry have permanently damaged the reporting of local news. But some engaged residents in the Washington area have taken it upon themselves to report hyper-local news on neighborhood blogs. We talk with neighborhood bloggers about the future of local news, and whether they can fill the gaps left by declining newsrooms.
