Do you ever wonder why journalists do the things they do? Why do they focus on one thing and ignore another? Should journalists be champions of democracy or does that impede their objectivity? Why do they pretend to be unbiased? And why do they care so much about awards? Baffled with David DesRoches just might have some answers.
You might not agree with him, and that's the point -- to start a dialogue about this important industry. Hosted by an award-winning journalist (see that?), this podcast explores those moments when we consume media and say to ourselves, “Huh?” The goal is to offer thoughts on improving journalism and the media industry, and to also help non-journalists better understand the reporting process. In an era when distrust is as common as a cold, the need for podcasts like this cannot be overstated. So go and start one yourself!

Journalist Hacker? A Missouri Governor Goes Head-to-Head With a Newspaper Over Reality
This episode looks into a story in which a journalist discovered that a Missouri state website had included the social security numbers of tens of thousands of public school teachers in the HTML code. The governor had responded by calling him a hacker. The episode looks at how this specific story is more complicated than it might seem, and how this story is a classic example of the never ending narrative battle.
The podcast is a production of the Quinnipiac University Podcast Studio, hosted by David DesRoches, director of community programming and longtime journalist, and produced by Quinnipiac student Grace McGuire. Jillian Catalano is the social media coordinator and Jake McCarthy is the videographer.
