Tuesday Morning News and More

with Renee
Day: Tuesday
Time: 05:30 AM - 08:00 AM

Tuesday morning leads with headlines, moves into commentary, includes music, and sometimes shows how the feature story is portrayed through various news (and other) media. Using a number of sources -- state, local, national, and international -- I try to cover the stories of importance to those who care about participatory democracy, the health of the community and environment; who want to understand the role of media in what we understand; and stories and events that might help us to act in ways that may influence others and/or public policy.

Renee has been involved with WGDR - one way or another - since the early 90s, beginning by filling in for a Sunday morning world music program. After three years as a research assistant and editor for a professor of mass media and analysis of news, it seemed important to share the information about how news is generated, especially developing patterns of news narratives, understanding a story based on sources cited (or not), and where to find what you probably won't find in corporate media. Having raised five children in the vermont folk music scene, I like to play as much folk music in between news stories and commentaries as possible.
