McCarren, Rezaian Discuss The Club's New Press Freedom Center

The NPC's new Press Freedom Center officially launched in late November, with the first event involving 17 members of the family of Austin Tice, the American journalist who was kidnapped while reporting in Syria on August 13, 2012. In this edition of Update-1, Broadcast Podcast Team co-chair Mike Hempen talks with Bill McCarren, the center's director, and Jason Rezaian, the director of press freedom issues for The Washington Post and a consultant for the center, about how it will be used in the club's press freedom initiatives. They also discuss why there's a need for the center, how it will be funded, and the ongoing challenges to press freedom.
