Guests: Linda Strine and Wil Simon were the guests for this special Space Show program addressing issues related to space news reporting, science journalism, broadcast and other forms of media/journalism. We began the discussion by defining the different types of media, how they are used, and often how news is filtered through each format. During the program we covered all forms of media, both for general reporting, space, and science. It's an in-depth discussion about how news and facts are presented, distorted, manipulated or glossed over.
