This couldn't be a more timely and urgent conversation with author and investigative journalist Katherine Corcoran. As a former AP Mexico bureau chief, her new book "In the Mouth of the Wolf" investigates the m*rder of Regina Martínez, a legendary woman journalist who exposed government corruption in Mexico. With her acclaimed investigative journalist voice, Katherine looks into why so many journalists were m*rdered in Mexico...why would the Mexican government want to censor and silence these journalists?
Katherine emphasizes that when she started her journalism career freedom of the press was a given, but times have changed since the media and journalists are now considered suspect by both politicians and the American public. She explains that it's important to analyze what media you're consuming and whether or not it has a bias. Then, she distinguishes between pundits and journalists, there is a major difference.
This conversation about the future of the free press is a breath of fresh air since Katherine answers all of Andrew's questions. A few questions include how corporate interests have influenced the journalism field, are the American people really that divided, and what the future of the free press looks like both in America and abroad?
