Club podcast Update-1 addresses bias in latest episode

The latest episode of Update-1, the National Press Club's podcast, focused on bias is now available on the Club's website under the multi-media section and on iTunes.

With Fox News Channel consistently ahead of its competitors in the ratings, we look at why infusing news coverage with opinion has proven so successful from a business standpoint. Press Club member Charlotte Grimes, an expert in news literacy and the recently-retired Knight Chair in Political Reporting at Syracuse University, tells us when and how biased reporting became widely accepted, why it’s harmful and what efforts are being made to do something about it. Press Club member Violet Ikonomova hosts.
