Demystifying Media At The University Of Oregon

In this podcast we're joined by NPR National Desk reporter Tom Bowman and Brigid Schulte, director of the Better Life Lab at New America, for an engaging discussion about the current state of journalism. Bowman's previous reporting at The Baltimore Sun on racial and gender discrimination at the National Security Administration led to a Pentagon investigation in 1994.

Schulte is also the acclaimed author of the New York Times best-selling book on time-management and time pressure, Overwhelmed: Work, Love & Play when No One has the Time.
