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 a Political Science Professor and Senior Research Associate at the Campbell Public Affairs Institute at Syracuse University's Maxwell School of Citizenship. 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.
Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
