Telemundo 52, City Hall And Journalistic Ethics
It really does play out like a bad soap opera script...Telemundo's Channel 52 reporter Mirthala Salinas covers City Hall and, by the way, she's been having a long-running affair with LA Mayor Antonio Villaraigosa. What does that say about the station's journalistic ethics? Larry talks with Kelly McBride of the Poynter Institute and Kevin Roderick of LAObserved.com about City Hall, Spanish-language television, and LA's sordid summer.
Orange County Journalists Roundtable
Larry Mantle talks with William Lobdell, City Editor of the Orange County Edition of the Los Angeles Times, Orange County Register's senior editorial writer and columnist, Steven Greenhut, and OC Weekly's senior editorial writer and columnist, Gustavo Arellano, about the latest news events and developments in Orange County.
Science Stories
Larry talks about the latest science stories with Michael Shermer, founder and publisher of Skeptic Magazine, who elaborates on topics like the evolution theory, DNA of new archaeological findings, and global warming.
God's Continent
What does the future hold for European Christianity? That's the question Philip Jenkins attempts to answer in his new book, God's Continent (Oxford University Press). He speculates about the impact of globalization and Muslim immigration and influence in Europe. Jenkins considers other influences, such as African and Eastern European Christian immigration. He also questions whether any religion can survive the secularism. Larry talks to Jenkins about these issues and more.
