A podcast from Richmond, Indiana about media, news and opinion from a different perspective.
Since the Richmond News Review is all about covering news and opinion happening in the area, we thought it would be useful to take a look at what sources of news there are for Richmond, and how they operate.

The Richmond News Review is on break for a week or so. We're enjoying some time to step back and think about what we've done so far, and what segments, interviews and other "features" we can bring to the show. While we're away, please feel free to comment on any of the existing episode posts, write in with your feedback, or call our Listener Feedback Line at (765) 997-1727 and leave a comment there (and all of these get you entered for our iPod Nano Giveaway). Thanks for listening, we'll be back soon!
In this episode: a parade to remind us of the good in our community, an interview with local author Jean Harper about her past and present in Richmond, concerns about local water quality, and this week's featured blogger. Plus we'll remind you of some ways you can support the Richmond News Review, if you like what we're doing here. Read more below for links from this episode. Enjoy!

Rich Jackson was interviewed about his firing from the Palladium-Item for an article in Editor & Publisher, which brings the local personnel issue into the national spotlight of media matters. We've mentioned Jackson's departure from the Pal-Item here previously, but this is the first public comment we know of from either party involved in the matter.
