A Holiday Spotlight on Durham, NC on the December 17th Left of Black
Though much of mainstream corporate News is framed by the “echo chamber” of Washington politics and issues far removed from our daily lives, there are those in the industry still committed to presenting vibrant and informed views of the local worlds we are connected to. Two such figures visit the Left of Blackstudios this week as Frank Stasio, longtime host of The State of Things on NPR affiliate WUNC-FM (91.5), and Anthony Wilson, reporter and weekend anchor on WTVD (ABC 11) join Left of Black host and Duke University Professor Mark Anthony Neal in studio, for a wide-ranging conversation about the current state of on-air news journalism.
Later Neal is joined in studio by Jazz vocalist Nnenna Freelon and bassist John Brown, director of the Jazz Studies Program at Duke University, who have just released a new recording Christmas—Nnenna Freelon with the John Brown Big Band (Brown Boulevard Records). Freelon and Brown discuss the new recording, the challenges of introducing Jazz to new generations of listeners and the Durham cultural scene.
