NPR Morning Edition host David Greene on the Campbell Conversations

WRVO News
NPR Morning Edition host David Greene

When a national tragedy occurs, we often head for the nearest radio or television to get the latest news. That happened this week, when a gunman shot and killed 58 people and injured hundreds of others during a country music concert in Las Vegas. 

It can be difficult to hear these stories, and it can also be difficult for the journalists that have to cover these tragic events. David Greene, host of NPR's Morning Edition, was in Syracuse this week and joined host Grant Reeher for this week's edition of the Campbell Conversations. They discuss the difficulty in covering tragic events, the importance of journalism today, and more.  

Grant Reeher is Director of the Campbell Public Affairs Institute and a professor of political science at Syracuse University’s Maxwell School of Citizenship and Public Affairs. He is also creator, host and program director of “The Campbell Conversations” on WRVO, a weekly regional public affairs program featuring extended in-depth interviews with regional and national writers, politicians, activists, public officials, and business professionals.
