Free Speech Update

Who has done the most in the past year to curtail free speech?

There is a federal agency that is being ”honored“ for putting out fake news.  But that is just one of the stories behind the latest Muzzle Awards.

We detail that particular case and several more on this Free Speech Update edition of Virginia Insight.

Guest:

Bob O'Neil - Former President of UVA, and current Director of The Thomas Jefferson Center for the Protection of Free Expression.

About Virginia Insight

Virginia Insight is WMRA's own call-in talk show, airing every Monday at 3 p.m., just before All Things Considered.

Virginia Insight represents a key element of WMRA's commitment to serve its audience through dynamic discussions. From politics to culture, technology to religion, entertainment to relationships, Virginia Insight inspires understanding.

The show's host Tom Graham served as a Radio News Director in North Carolina, Tennessee and California. Tom has also worked in television as a reporter and news anchor.

Matt Bingay, Executive Producer for Virginia Insight, is also WMRA's Program Director. In addition to his many years with WMRA, Matt has also worked at New Hampshire Public Radio in Concord, where he helped produce such highly regarded interview call-in programs as The Exchange and Perspectives.

Bob Leweke, Assistant Producer for the show, is also WMRA’s host for All Things Considered and Marketplace.  Before coming to public radio, he worked in the newspaper business as a circulation manager and writer, and has taught college courses in mass media and journalism.

WMRA's Operations Manager Dan Easley provides technical direction for the show.  He got his start in radio as a teenager, co-hosting a rock and roll show with his dad, at a community station in Ketchikan, Alaska. Prior to joining WMRA, he served WVPT public television as producer/director, working on their nightly call-in talk show and their award-winning program Virginia Farming.

You are invited to join the conversation every Monday at 888-967-2825, or 888-WMRA-TALK.
