Your host is Ken Otterbourg, the managing editor at the Winston-Salem Journal. It's a forum to discuss the media, from ethics to coverage, from grammar to graphics. I'd like to keep it somewhat focused on journalism in North Carolina, but we can cross the border when we need to. And from time to time, just to mix it up, we'll get into two of my other passions: food and history.
