welcome to "the washington post". i'm fred ryan publisher and it's my pleasure to welcome you to thank you for joining us this morning to this important discussion on press freedom around the world. every year reporters without borders the world's largest nongovernmental organization devoted to protecting the rights of journalists compiles the world press freedom index. as you know, this is reported the massive undertaking that presents exhaustive research into the media environment of 180 different countries. among the index and many valuable features is its indication of important changes and trends raising alarm about places where press freedom is in decline and acknowledging areas of improvement. sadly, as we all know too well, this is a time of growing danger for journalism. as the report indicates journalists around the world are encountering censorship, harassment, violence and every day just for doing their jobs. in every region of the world the grip of the press -- this year's index highlights a particularly

i see first "the washington post." if you don't do that, you would have to wait until news feed gives it to you. the idea of a news tab would be, you can go and look for news and be exposed for more news and, i think, look, to date. our hope has been that we aren't making payments so that publishers become dependent on the payments, that publishers should be able to, again, monetize directly and have a direct relationship with their audiences, rather than it coming through facebook so they can know them through instant articles. i think as we move into a news surface, what we're going to explore is how do we do that even more. how do we make sure that publishers are getting the money they need to do this great work. >> so the fbi and the sec and ftc is investigating and a fine with facebook and not to mention in europe and other parts of the world. most of that was prompted by cambridge analytica and there have been a lot of pr issues with facebook recently. and you know, just yesterday, millions of facebook users info

later we hear from former "washington post" reporter dorothy who writes about her life and career in a memoir "trailblazer." [inaudible conversations] >>> good evening, everybody. i am bradley graham co-owner of politics and prose along with my wife and on behalf of everybody here welcome. thank you very much for coming out this evening. so, it's not very often that we get to hold an author talks with the deputy general counsel of the newspaper. i don't know any precedent for this, but david mccraw is not just anyut

i mean, what barr is telling "the washington post" here, i mean, i'm sorry. what people familiar with the thinking that led to barr's conclusions are telling the post here is that that particular instance of alleged criminal obstruction i just described involving corey lewandowski is the president telling corey to take a memo and bring a draft speech to jeff sessions and tell jeff sessions he's going to have to unrecuse because of the investigation in 2016 and if he doesn't do it, corey lewandowski is supposed to fire the attorney general. that particular instance of obstruction according to barr's thinking as described in the "washington post" now by these anonymous sources, barr's thinking is that that shouldn't have been charges of obstruction of justice because it was a scheme to obstruct justice that did not work. it didn't actually succeed after the president tried to set that obstruction in motion. quote, bringing a prosecution on these facts would have been complicated because the obstruction relies on multiple people in a chain all doing something. an

i feel like i'm being the cranky critic that "the washington post", "new york times", buzz speed has had fantastic and deep investigative coverage of donald trump in russia. buzz speed was up for pulitzer for the story they did about suspicionsth of russian oligarchs when russia was behind the murders the times in the post were part of this newspaper war but not like today "the washington post" has this meeting in a cigar bar between paul manafort and his russian buddies. . >> so their coverage has been fantastic really. . >> we just want to make that clearer because my book isn't a piece of media criticism at all i just want to make that point it's about four news organizations who were latecomers with the all digital upstart with buzz feed and vice to well-respected legacy newspapers and how they all change themselves and twisted themselves during what i see as web point 2.0 that that. that begins with the facebook newsfeed starting with the iphone introduced as the main instrument that people used to read the news or watch the news and how when i started the book it was a narrativ

some things the washington post says, and you have been remarkably quiet. ff: i have no idea what you are talking about. [laughter] david: you have been remarkably quiet in not defending yourself. jeff: i do defend the post. it is a mistake for any elected official in my opinion. i don't think this is a very out there opinion, to attack media and journalists. [applause] jeff: i believe it is an essential component of our democracy. there has never been, i was going to say there has never been an elected official who has liked their headlines. i think there has been no public figure who has ever liked their headlines. it is ok. it is part of the process. if you are the president or governor of a state or whatever you don't take that job thinking , you will not get scrutinized. you are going to get scrutinized. and it is healthy. somebody very, you know, what the president should say is, this is right. this is good. i am glad i am being scrutinized. that would be so secure and confident. but it is really dangerous to demonize the media. it is dangerous to call

to -- morning, william welcome to the washington post. welcome youasure to and thank you for joining us this morning for this discussion the ess freedom around world. every year reporters without borders, the world's largest organization to protecting the rights of compiles the world press freedom index. undertaking sive and looks at the media 180 different countries. it looks at the indication of mportant changes and trends, raising alarms in places where press freedom is in decline and areas of ing improvement. sadly, as we all know too well, is a time of growing danger journalists. we encounter harassment and iolence every day just for doing their jobs. n every region of the world tyrants are increasing their rips on the press trying to presenator reporters -- reventing reporters from holding them to account. iny areas have seen declines press p freedom -- press freedom rangings, including the united states. are not stranger to this as e have seen with many journalists. for their friends an colleagues hese attacks have been an reminder

isn't going to, because people will go to washington post. even on the local level, if you can figure out because there's is so important, to feel out the collude on reasonable pricing, so that people would pay for news. >> sarah, you innovated by expanding original programming to more community events. growing the digital platform for your station. can you talk to us about the ways that you have intimated the country -- company in the last 10 years? sarah: my father purchased the company into as in three and i took over in 2010. i took over in for the 10. i inherited a station that was underperforming. it was not self-sustaining. i look at it and try to think about how we could reimagine what talk radio -- black talk radio could look like in philadelphia. philadelphia is 45% african-american. it's the poorest big city in the country. it has a very high poverty rate. there are a lot of opportunities for creating connections and information. we really looked at how we could take a multimedia approach and we do a lot of events, over 100 events

people are thinking what is the deal, the amazon "washington post," are they doing it for him? the saudis are not happy with jeff bezos because they murdered one of his columnists and then "the post" published that aggressively. michael sanchez, the brother of the girlfriend. ami basically pins it on him, right? >> this whole saga has been very bizarre, but one of the most -- i think interesting aspects from a journalistic perspective, obviously every news organization will sort of go to the mat to protect their sources, especially on such a massive story like this. ami over the last two or three weeks has fully burned their what they claim is their sole source on this. so that i thought, you know, when that began happening a couple of weeks ago with their lawyer going on the sunday shows and all but naming him, i thought that was very odd. when "the wall street journal" came out with a story last week, they said or they suggested that there were actually two stories on this. this is what really -- this formed a lot of gavin de becker's theory on this, michael sanchsz w sanchez

these are just a few examples from the "washington post" that tells a little bit about what happened here in washington d.c.. i'm just going to switch here to a second slideshow. this one will run itself. if it all works fine, you'll see some images of the talk. today we are like to do is focus on three areas of research that i described in the book. the first looks at how the treatments of influenza have evolved. what do we do 100 years ago to treat this terrible deadly disease and what do we do today? and i think you'll find that actually, it's changed less than you would have hoped. the second focus is going to be how our understanding of the influenza virus has changed over the last century. what was it that we thought caused influenza 100 years ago and what do we know about that same virus today? and there think we can all agree there have been an absolute remarkable, evolutionary and leap in our understanding of exactly what was going on. finally, we will look at how we can prevent ourselves from catching the flu in the first place by looking at vaccines. what vaccines were like

[applause] >> good morning i'm sara ellison, i'm a media reporting for "the washington post." and i'm delighted to introduce my guest anne kornblut, she is the director of new initiatives on the news partnership team on facebook. she is also a pull zer prize winning journalist who spent two decades in the news business including at the washington post before joining facebook, so we're has been to bring her back home. she is now leading a new initiative at the company aimed addground $300 million to news programs and content, and some of that is going towards local news. first i have to ask you about the previous panel i wanted to get your response to congressmen dave cicilline notion of looking an anti-trust loophole to allow news publishers to ban together. >> anne: thank you, i know i'm here as the facebook person but i feel like a washington post person so thanks for letting me come back. yeah, it was really interesting to hear them, both of them, talk about their ideas. i hadn't heard them do it live for such an extended period of time before. you know, i think the most fo

mine is all see first, i see first the "washington post." but if you don't do that, you would have to wait until news feed gives it to you. the idea of a news tab would be you can go and look for news and be exposed to more news. to date our hope has been that we aren't making payments so that publishers become dependent on the payments, that publishers should be able to monetize directly and have a direct relationship with their audiences rather than it coming through facebook so they can know them through instant articles. as we move into a news surface, we're going to explore how do we do that even more, how do we make sure publishers are getting the money they need to do this great work. >> the fbi and the sec are investigating facebook along with a dozen states. the ftc was also investigating and now is negotiating a multibillion dollar fine with facebook. most of that was prompted by cambridge analytica. there have been a lot of pr issues with facebook recently. just yesterday millions of facebook users' information was found to be exp

the women at the new york times sue, the women at the washington post suit. the black people at new york times daily news sued so there was the change people took action when they saw and recognize the reality that there were women managers, they were not black editors, they were not latino editors. so i think a lot of the change was pushed by those people who decided they were going to do something about it. that definitely changed the atmosphere inside. and i remember one african-american reporter was working for the near post, and i thought he'd be a great reporter. bradley interviewed him and said what to think about working for a racist newspaper. and he said if i was worried about looking for a racist newspaper i would not be in the journalism business. [laughter] and bradley, had ways that he could pull things out. i remember that no matter what he thought about what i wrote, and a lot of the editors did not like it. but there was only one time that i remember him, bradley ever personally saying to me, something about a column. and that is when the ku

is reported to have been freed he's souled al khatami who was a close advisor to bin psalm the washington post has quoted unnamed u.s. and saudi sources as saying the crown prince still seeks advice for. andrew symonds. you know jamal khashoggi career spanned decades and for much of it he was actually a supporter of the saudi royal family home advantage has this report now on his life and his work. was by far the most famous saudi journalist his career began in the one nine hundred eighty s. reporting for saudi newspapers on the soviet invasion of afghanistan he met and interviewed osama bin laden several times he became an expert voice on al-qaeda and issues of extremism in the middle east especially after the september eleventh attacks in the united states we can start drawing a plan about others about the bludgers about us our solich are real and over throughout his career continue to support the saudi royal family and to defend saudi both at home and abroad he warned against the dangers of iran's military and ideological expansion in the region he also initially supported the saudi iraqi l

one source tells "the washington post" mueller's still confidential report is much more acute than bill barr suggested in his summary. evidence gathered on obstruction, the post says, is, quote, alarming and significant. >> we'll have much more on that in a second. >> this morning, we're also following the most consequential move so far in the fight to see the president's tax returns. the democratic chairman of the house ways and means committee has formally made a request that only three people in the country can actually legally make, whether that request will be fulfilled, that's an entirely separate matter. first, though, to what "the new york times" calls the simmering frustrations on the mueller team and escalating pressure on barr. kara scannell, our colleague in washington, has more on that. look, they're all unnamed. so sources here, but the times says these are folks, lawyers or investigators, on mueller's team. >> that's right. we have both "the new york times" and "washington post" saying investigators from mueller's team, which could be the attorneys or the fbi agents, have

say "the washington post" published these things. and i know firsthand and in my bones how we have really been a beacon at the american press for other countries so it's stunning to see that we're so low in the pack. let's go back to the world index, your report. numbers are kind of stunning. how many journalists were killed last year? >> yeah, well, last year, we had 80 journalists who were killed across the world, 348 were detained and 60 were held hostages. >> whoa. >> so right as we speak, there's-- there are over 300 journalists in jail for writing something. it's a stunning and an important figure and we're grateful that all of you showed up today because it's, you know, it's the fourth estate to keep checks and balances on the other branches of power, as famously said that power corrupts and absolutely power is absolutely corrupting. let's look at some of the other headlines. when you look at the world map there, we saw black spaces, and in fact, many of the places here that have the worst records have r have dictators, basica

"the washington post" has not confirmed this proposal has actually been implemented.ctually, the department of homeland security has said repeatedly when this proposal was first passed by their office in i think this past february that this was not a viable idea. first of all, it would require a huge infrastructure investment to actually transport all of these migrants from the border to sanctuary cities, and then on top of that, if you want to talk about the president being financially responsible, it's the opposite of that. i mean, this would be an enormous financial burden on the government, one that dhs has repeatedly said they can't afford. i think this is just another idea that trump likes to throw out at campaign rallies as red meat and it's exactly what it was intended to be at the beginning. a form of political retribution against democrats, against people like nancy pelosi threatening to send migrants to these sanctuary cities. i would like to add that most democrats, especially democratic mayors have welcomed most migrants to their cities if there actually

we got this report from "the washington post" 5:00 p.m. tonight, quote, white house plans to fight the house subpoena of former white house counsel don mcgahn for testimony on the mueller report. white house lawyers saying they're going to try to exert executive privilege so don mcgahn can't talk about the issues with the president. fascinating story by the white house because don mcgahn already testified about those things to the special counsel, so it's a little late for the white house to be saying those things are privileged and can't be discussed outside the white house. because of that scoop from "the washington post" tonight, we made plans to talk to one of the reporters who got that scoop. we made plans to talk to reporter robert costa. but then as we were racing towards show time, robert surprisingly let us know that, hello, he had just received a call from the president, from the president himself. quote, president trump says he is opposed to current and former white house aides providing testimony to congressional panels in the

builds momentum more and more people people find and buy october 2 on the front page of the "washington post" we were told the war power had changed and it's been staggered. washington, d.c. wasn't the only city to do this by any means in fact it happened in the least of the cities that were affected. the idea it did understand it was a good idea so they were closed down in some places and restaurants were closed. stores had staggered out and in an attempt to keep people space away from each other. so the working house of the federal government changed around the beginning. i talk about this piece of the reporting in the book and this comes a couple of weeks after that. the "washington post" reported on the headline that's the price skyrocketed and this was an example of people taking advantage of a terrible situation holding him by the throat and extorting and it goes on here to suggest the department of justice should step in and put a stop to the high prices. it costs more to bury the dead more people have died in the short amount of time and suggested that correct is now in sight. that w

robert costa of "the washington post" spoke with the president tonight by phone.os "the post" quotes trump as saying, and we quote, there is no reason to go any further and especially in congress where it's very partisan, obviously he very partisan. and again costa and his colleagues also report, quote, the white house plans to fight a subpoena issued by the house judiciary committee for former white house counsel don mcgahn to testify. the administration also plans to oppose other requests from house committees for the testimony of current and former aides about actions in the white house described by mueller's report. white house lawyers plan to tell attorneys for administration it witnesses called by the house ni that they will be asserting executive privilege over their testimony.in more on that in a bit with a very good lawyer. earlier today we heard trump's son-in-law and senior advisor jared kushner launch his own attacks on the mueller report.un in his first public comment since the report's release, what you're about to hear is jared kushner diminishing the russian attack on

i'm jonathan capehart, opinion writer here at the "washington post". and let me just get under way and introduce my guests. sarah lomax reese is president and ceo of wurd radio. pennsylvania's only african-american owned talk station in philadelphia, right. >> yes. >> audrey cooper, editor in chief of the san francisco chronicle and veteran television journalist. greta van susteren who is the chief national political analyst for great tv and you don't remember this -- the sec person who ever put me on television. >> who was the first? >> geraldo, rivera. >> this is going well. >> no. >> this is going to be great. >> you traded up. >> right. >> i love geraldo. >> we have three thought leaders here with different approaches to revitalizing and protecting local news. as a reminder to our audience here and watching live stream, you can tweet questions to us using the hashtag post live. audrey, let me start with you. eight years ago, the san francisco con he canal was in big, big trouble. it was reportedly bleeding $50 million a year at one point. you took

"the washington post" describes a call between the president and rod rosenstein last year after "new york times" report came out that said that rod rosenstein had suggested wearing a wire, that him wearing a wire. to record the president. according to "the washington post," rosenstein who by one account had gotten teary eyed just before call in a meeting with trump's chief of staff sought to defuse is the volatile situation and assure the president he was on his team according to people familiar with the matter. he criticized the times report published in late september and blamed it on former deputy fbi director andrew mccabe whose recs formed its basis. then he talked about special counsel robert s. mueller iii's investigation of russia's interference in the 2016 election and told the president i would make sure trump was treated fairly. people familiar with the conversation said. i give the investigation credibility, rosenstein said in the words of one administration official offering their own characterization of the call. i can land the plane. in the end, the president didn't tr

let's bring in one of the reporters who broke that story for "washington post." being on with us. >> hallie, thanks for having meehan o. >> let's start with the six officials and the highest ranking official in the complaint is named doug domenech. >> he had been an employee at a texas-based conservative think tank before joining the trump administration. now, after he joined the trump administration, he had some conversations with his former employer about two lawsuits that the conservative think tank had filed against the federal government concerning endangered specaries and a property issue. that is a specific issue that according to the president trump's own ethics rules, he may have violated them by talking. >> right. >> yeah. >> no, you make a point. the president signed the executive order that does require these appointees to recuse themselves from anything that involves their former employers or clients. what is the status of that order? is it still valid? what is yourert reporting tell you? >> that order is still in effect. one of president trump's fir

. >> and two of our friends from the "washington post," white house bureau chief who also moderates washingtonk on pbs. it's hard to watch those clips now without laughing. clearly he will not. and this seems luke a new and different move to get something that donald trump has described as existing beyond his red line. >> i think that's right, nicole. the never ending audit. and it's important to point out the president keeps saying his tax returns are under audit but who's not provided any evidence of the audit. the irs of course wouldn't comment on individual cases. so we're left to guess what might be going on there. it sets up what could potentially be a court fight that could take even years. the expectation among democrats is the president and his administration will resist this request and it would compel the democrats to pursue a legal challenge and that's why the letter was so carefully worded. >> i have so many questions for you. but i want to start with testimony on this very question. why is the president refused to release his tax returns? >> what the real reason is that the presi

he will retain ownership of the blue origin and the washington post as well. amanda: we talked yesterday about the breaking story on facebook data being found on amazon web services. any follow up on that today, implications for either? neither company seems particularly fussed in the market. partiallyink that is fatigue from these kinds of breaches. facebook was hammered all year last year. one thing we are following up on is what are the responsibilities of big cloud providers that store all of this data, to help secure it. amanda: we will keep watching. thank you, matt day. front and center. h radio with china has to be great, according to donald trump. he told reporters that in the last hour. the president is set to meet with beijing's top negotiator at the white house later today. for more on what we should expect, we have sarah mcgregor. policyds our economic covered in washington. lots of optimism here. i don't know how you interpret great, but are you feeling as good about this as he has? sarah: all eyes are on this meeting that we have today. the expe

the "washington post" is reporting the same thing. you've been skeptical of that. what does that mean? what do you think? how do you feel about that? >> i'm skeptical of the approach here. we have a press conference before we see the report? i've never heard of such a thing. there are press reports at the department of justice all the time. the culmination is handed out to reporter beforehand or at the event. the people who handle the investigation are up there on the stagement here we have a guy who didn't have anything to do with the investigation except for overseeing the end of it. mr. mueller is not there. the team is not there. we don't know what the document is. what's the point of this? what galls me, the woman you had on here before, the congresswoman. >> madelein. >> she has a right to see that report. congress has not only an oversight role, but they have an impeachment role. he's stonewalling them. he's been showing it to the white house. it's very concerning. >> she raises a good question. why is he having a press conference at all. >> it seems to me t

newspaper the washington post says his relatives have been given expensive homes in saudi arabia as well as large monthly payments the article also says that kushal g.'s two sons and two daughters may soon get payouts with tens of millions of dollars each a so-called blood money. now it's been six months since jamal khashoggi was murdered in turkey so let's take a look at how the case unfolded he was a saudi writer columnist for the washington post and the u.s. resident he had lived in the u.s. in self-imposed exile since twenty seven seventeen after writing and broadcasting critical comments about the saudi crown prince mohammed bin sandman the c.c.t.v. footage shows entering the saudi consulate in istanbul one fourteen pm on october the second last year he had gone there to get papers certifying his divorce you needed those documents to marry his turkish fiance a teacher changes she was waiting outside for him outside the consulate three hours later had t.j. are asked consulate staff where her fiance was she was told he had left the building through the back door now it took two weeks

a source close to former white house counsel don mcgahn told "the washington post" this. "he's not eager to testify. he's not reluctant. he got a subpoena. it compels him to testify, but there are some countervailing legal reasons that might prevent that, said one person close to mcgahn, who spoke on a condition of anonymity to describe private discussions. he doesn't want to be in contempt of congress, nor does he want to be in contempt of his ethical obligations and legal obligation as a former white house counsel." steven mnuchin issued a written response about chairman neal's demand that the internal revenue service deliver six years of donald trump's tax returns to him. the law very clearly and specifically allows the chairman of the tax writing committees in the house and the senate to see any tax returns they choose to see. the law puts no limitation on their rights to examine tax returns. this law has never been challenged or defied by the irs or the treasury department in its nearly 100-year history. secretary mnuchin said that the administration is still reviewi

"the washington post" is reporting, you believe the irs should comply. the president told his advisers he doesn't want this to happen and he would fight this issue all the way to the supreme court. are you prepared for this to go to the supreme court? >> that's his prerogative, and that will be his choice. but i don't think that the chairman of the ways and means committee, richie neil who i know and have great admiration for him is going to condition whether he does his job and up holes his oath on whether or not donald trump feels like it on any particular day. we're going to do what we or charged with doing. this is an important question. not only is it important that the american public have faith that the president's personal financial interests don't somehow interfere with his public decision making, but at this moment, we're actually looking at a specific question, and that is whether or not the irs is adhering to the law in, first of all, auditing and also enforcing tax laws on the president of the united states. we may have to take action to ens

over 60% of "the washington post" poll don't believe him. his approval ratings went down 3 points in "the wall street journal" poll. went down three points. what's the next move? >> those numbers show the risk of this strategy. there are people around the president who have always been a little concerned about this idea, thinking the attacks on mueller, linking democrats to it, would have a pretty short shelf life and those numbers, obviously it's still only a, that there's a limit to what they can do here. when the president is not the most trutworthy character in a lot of things, it remains to be seen whether this is going to be an effective tactic to take this and weaponize it going forward. this is not going away from the headlines any time soon. the democrats have given a deadline to barr, i believe it's tomorrow, to give him the and do we suspect the investigation, could that be don jr., could that be jared kushner? if that's the case, democrats are not going to take that down. >> for one wook we've heard how it's the end of journalism

it's 4:00 in new york where we're coming to you with breaking news from "the washington post" that may call into question rod rosenstein's role in overseeing the mueller investigation. this new report details attempts by rosenstein to keep his job in the cake of a news account that suggested he was willing to wear a wire to secretly record donald trump. based on this investigation, rosenstein telling the president he would make sure trump was treated fairly, quote, this is rod rosenstein, i give the investigation credibility, rosenstein said, in the words of one official, quote, i can land the plane. these comments were made in september of 2018, a full six months before robert mueller would tell the justice department that he was finished with his probe. for six more months under rosenstein's supervision, mueller would continue interview witnesses and bringing cases. this took six months before mueller decided he could not exonerate trump on obstruction of justice. six months before bill barr decided he would let trump off the hook anyway. that's where we begin with our favorite repor

entire report. >> so you heard the report at the top of the show from evan perez and also "the washington posttonight that the mueller report will be lightly redacted, revealing a detailed look at obstruction of justice investigation and the "post" citing people who are familiar with the matter, i'm going to say what they say, but cnn has the reporting. they say the report will reveal that mueller decided he could not come to a conclusion on the question of obstruction because it was difficult to determine trump's intent and some of his actions could be interpreted innocently, these people said, but it will offer a detailed blow by blow of his alleged conduct, analyzing tweets, private threats and other episodes at the center of mueller's inquiry. what do you say to that, congresswoman? >> well, i'm hoping it's redacted, not at all. unfortunately i'm skeptical of how much will be redacted. what we got in the letter from attorney general barr were four categories of information, and the last one was rather a kitchen sink of information, anything that might be personally embarrassing. so i'm wor

here's how "the washington post" explains it. quote, members of special counsel robert mueller's team have told associates they're frustrated with the limited information attorney general william barr has provided of their nearly two year investigation. barr concluded the evidence wasn't sufficient to prove obstruction of justice. but members of mueller's team have complained to close associates that the evidence they gathered on obstruction was alarming and significant. one person telling "the post," quote, it was much more acute than barr suggested. some members were particularly disappointed barr didn't release summary information the team had prepared. there was displeasure from the team when they saw how the a.g. had characterized their work. theficial said the mueller team had prepared its summaries with the view they could be made public. the official said the report was prepared, quote so that the front matter from each section could have been released immediately or very quickly. it was done in a way minimum redactions i

is responding to this reporting from the "washington post" which they say was misreporting on this andc issue with the reporting in the post that the mueller report contains summaries that were releasable that were not actually released. we have more coming in to us. a senior d.o.j. official saying that it is not true that some of it was releasable and the statement makes it very clear every page of the confidential report provided to the attorney general, william barr, on march 22, 2019 was marked may contain material protected under law that protects confidential grand jury information and therefore could not be publicly released. charlie, we're learning more. i'll continue to bring everybody that as we get it. your thoughts on that. >> and that's why i go back to i think the most important point here is that the mueller report is going to be released and congress is going to get to see the mueller report and the american people will get to see it. it will be redacted and have things redacted from it that are sensitive or private grand jury material or anything like that. which is co

" isn't going to because people will go to the washington post. even on the local level if you can figure out because news is is be allowed to collude on reasonable pricing so that people will pay for news. >> sara at wurd you innovated by expanding original programming, doing more community events. growing the digital platform for your station. can you talk to us about the ways you innovated the company over the last ten years. >> sure. my father purchased the station in 2003, and i took over in 2010. it's been about 10 years. i inherited a station that was an am independent station that was underperforming basically. it was not self-sustaining at all. so i really looked at it and tried to think about how we could reimagine what talk radio could look like in philadelphia. philadelphia is about 45% african american, and the poorest big city in the country, and has a very high poverty rate. and so there are a lot of opportunities for creating connections and information connections. so we really looked at how we could take a very multi-media approa
