"Pure ruckus": A local journalist reports from the DNC

Youth Radio
Snapshot of the 2016 Democratic National Convention in Philadelphia

 

Our friends at Youth Radio in Oakland sent a contingent of reporters to Philadelphia last week for the Democratic National Convention. One of them was Miles Bess. KALW’s Ben Trefny spoke with him about his experience inside and outside the convention.

 

 

BESS: People are there to disagree. They are not going to see eye to eye. But it's not like they are out here choking each other, and swinging on each other in the audience. It's not like that.
