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 Washington City Paper’s staffers were threatened with a 40 percent pay cut, local businessman and philanthropist Mark Ein stepped in to buy the financially-struggling paper. Kojo speaks with the alternative newsweekly’s editor Alexa Mills on what Ein’s ownership means for the paper’s future, and how its new group of advisors, including alumnus Ta-Nahesi Coates, might improve coverage.
