Turmoil at The Albuquerque Journal

Lou DiVizio starts the show with some headlines from around the state including a federal judge's ruling that the federal government violated environmental regulations by approving nuclear pit production at Los Alamos National Laboratory. Then, Executive Producer Jeff Proctor sits down with a journalism professor and a criminal defense lawyer to consider what's next for the Albuquerque Journal, following the arrest and jailing of its executive editor after a misdemeanor shoplifting charge. First, Jeff asks UNM journalism professor and reporter Gwyneth Doland what sort of ethical conundrum has been created for the Journal's publisher and owner. Later, Jeff asks attorney Kelly Golightley to highlight the people who are typically charged for shoplifting and consider what a 10-day sentence means for the average person.
