10:00Investigative Reporting

Some say old fashioned investigative reporting has fallen out of favor in the new age of corporate media ownership. We'll look at how the news has changed and what's been lost in the process.

Guests

Walter Pincus, national security affairs reporter for "The Washington Post"

John Walcott, Washington bureau chief for the McClatchy Company
