The Comfortable Spot with Ken Foxe

Today my guest is journalist and writer Ken Foxe. With over 30 years' experience in media, Ken has been at the forefront of investigative reporting and was the leading author of a long-running series of articles in 2009 regarding politicians' expenses that led to major changes in the way they were reimbursed. Ken is also a co-director of Right to Know, an Irish transparency organisation that campaigns for greater information access, and in his spare time, Ken is the author of a series of short stories. I was a long admirer of his work, especially around the issues of freedom of information, and I was keen to have him on The Comfortable Spot as a guest. We have an in-depth discussion on the media and access to information, so I hope you are sitting comfortable and happy to stay with us.
