Journalists covering recent racially related stories are faced with challenges of what they can say to be factually correct without inflaming or offending people. Why is it so difficult to hear the "N" word, and what gives that word so much power today? In this episode of Equal Time, a special panel of journalism professors from various parts of the United States contribute their ideas about covering racial issues.
Guests: Doug Mendenhall, Abilene Christian University; George Daniels, University of Alabama; Meredith Clark, University of North Texas; Phillip Jeter, Winston-Salem State University. Host: Bob Rucker, San Jose State University.
