Meghna Chakrabarti hosts WBUR's On Point, distributed nationally by NPR. But it's the health of local news that she's most concerned about.
Chakrabarti came to Des Moines May 9 to speak to a crowd at Hoyt Sherman Place about the expansion of so-called news deserts, places without a local newspaper keeping tabs on their communities. Then she sat down for a conversation with Talk of Iowa host Charity Nebbe and answered questions from the audience.
This conversation has been edited for length and clarity.
