Inside the News
Lively, engaging, unscripted conversations that take you behind the scenes in news. That’s Real & Powerful.
Throughout the month of January, the Fair Media Council hosted a who’s who in news to offer real-time perspectives on the biggest issues of 2022. Fireside chats with America’s foremost presidential historian and frequent CNN commentator Douglas Brinkley, along with Laurie Garrett, best-selling author of The Coming Plague, offered exclusive insights on President Joe Biden’s first year in office, and the coronavirus pandemic, respectively. Four notable panel discussions then provided viewers the chance to gain a better understanding of national, New York State and local Long Island news issues.
