On May 24, 2007, the Center for New York City Affairs and WNYC, New York Public Radio, presented:
SAME NEWS, DIFFERENT VIEWS:
Bridging the Gap Between Ethnic and Mainstream Media
A Feet in Two Worlds Town Hall
The federal immigration policy debate may soon reach its climactic moment, changing the lives of hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers. Meanwhile, our city’s immigrant communities face unique—and not so unique—local challenges related to schools, poverty, housing and more. If you read or listen to the mainstream English-language press, what are you missing?
This Town Hall meeting with the ethnic and mainstream press was hosted by Brian Lehrer and broadcast on WNYC, New York Public Radio 93.9 FM / AM 820 on May 25, 2007. You can listen to it online on www.wnyc.org.
