Most media cover the same horror stories day after day with only minimal variations, depending on bias. But where do these catastrophes come from, and why do they keep sneaking up on us? What should we know to help us avert them—or to simply enrich our lives without terrifying us?
WGBH anchor Lisa Mullins and editor Ken Bader deal with such questions each weekday on the syndicated radio newsmagazine “The World.” They will use anecdotes and audio clips to describe how they cover events and trends before they make the front pages of the mainstream press (or that never do)—and the challenges they face covering the world on a shoestring budget.
