On the August 14th edition of Your Call, it’s our Friday media roundtable. This week, we’ll discuss coverage of the recent toxic spill in Colorado.
The EPA says it accidentally released 3 million gallons of chemicals into the Animas river, affecting towns in Colorado, New Mexico, and Utah. We’ll also talk about a new San Francisco Public Press investigation about the $21 billion dollar tech driven building boom in flood-prone areas near San Francisco shorelines. Join the conversation on the next Your Call, with Rose Aguilar and you.
Guests:
Michael Stoll, executive director and editor of the San Francisco Public Press
