Summary
KCRW's media critic Nick Madigan takes a weekly look at how reporters for newspapers, television and other media are doing their jobs. He explores their methods, evaluates their results and questions their thinking. With his own strong background as a reporter, Nick understands how journalism works, and when it doesn't, he's not afraid to say so.
