Dorothy R. Leavell, Head of the National Newspaper Publishers Association and publisher of the Crusader Newspapers in Chicago, Illinois and Gary Indiana, is spreading her wings, preparing to soar to new heights in the publishing business with the new acquisition of the widely circulated newspaper, The Reader.

What is the future of the news business, now that information is spread instantaneosly by cell phones through the Internet? How do we distinguish real news from "Fake News"? Can expansion, ownership and collaborative efforts eliminate the often racially biased, culturally insensitive slant to the news as spread by major networks? How can publishers level the playing field when it comes to influencing public thought? Call in with your comments, 515-605-9325. Press 1 to speak to the host and guest.
