Diane’s farewell message
After 52 years at WAMU, Diane Rehm says goodbye.
Hundreds of news reports are coming out of the war-torn Yugoslav province of Serbia called Kosovo. The Serbian media is operating under strict wartime conditions, but the American media also has been criticized for reporting only part of the story. Diane talks with media experts about how armed conflict is covered by news agencies — how they get their information and make choices about what to report. They’ll discuss how the news shapes public opinion and warfare itself.
