On today’s show, we talked about journalism — investigative journalism, specifically. How do those curious and courageous reporters do what they do? And why is this work needed? I had two award-winning investigative journalists join me to share their personal stories and tell us about the work they are doing. We also talked to Minnesota Secretary of State Steve Simon on election security and whether Minnesota is equipped to handle potential cyber-attacks during the 2020 election. ~ Angela Davis, MPR News host | Subscribe to the podcast on Apple Podcasts, Google Podcasts
