Today, we were in the news.
The Union Tribune ran a story on how City Attorney Michael Aguirre is questioning the cancellation of Full Focus as well as how participants are selected on Editors Roundtable .
There is something a little scary when the tables are turned and, suddenly, your news organization itself is the subject of a news story. I wanted to know what was going on. Nothing official has been said about this situation here at the KPBS building.
This morning, I interviewed KPBS General Manager Doug Myrland about the records requests.
Above is the audio from that 14-minute talk that I had with Doug. It's unedited for a reason -- I believe that the standards of transparency needs to be higher when a news organization looks into itself.
P.S. For those of you who got into the infamous conversation with Doug on Off Mic about the Full Focus cancellation, he addresses it about 9 minutes into the discussion.
