Heard Tell w/ Andrew Donaldson For 04JAN23

Bad Leadership, Local/Diverse Journalism, Cost of War, Atlanta As America Microcosm w/ Donnell Suggs

Your Heard Tell for Wednesday, January 4th, 2022, is turning down the noise of the news cycle and getting to the information we need to discern our times by taking the hot mess that is the new congress trying to elect a speaker from the viewpoint of leadership principles; if you have to tell folks you are in charge, you ain’t. We go overseas with the human toll of Russia’s war on Ukraine, particular what is happening to an entire generation of children trying to grow up with their world exploding all around them. Our guest is Editor In Chief of The Atlanta Voice Donnell Suggs discuss the importance of local, free, and diverse media, how Atlanta is a great microcosm of many of the issues and narratives we are discussing nationally, covering the midterms/runoffs with a local focus, how journalism is changing not just because of technology but the new generation of journalist. Plus the lessons from the awful Monday Night Football collapse of Damar Hamlin about CPR and AEDs.

All that and more on this Wednesday edition of Heard Tell.
