Radio Depaul Sports Podcast

For this episode of the Radio DePaul Sports podcast, Gina and Abbas looked into how sports entities, including media, should respond to the protests against police brutality. The episode includes three interviews.  The first with Fred Mitchell, an adjunct faculty at DePaul University who was a sportswriter at the Chicago Tribune for over 41 years. Mitchell discussed his career as a journalist and an athlete and he also had advice for students and student journalists. The second interview was with Jon Greenberg, the founding editor of The Athletic and the lead columnist for Athletic's Chicago branch. Greenberg talked about his column about sports during this movement and what The Athletic is doing overall. The last interview was with DePaul basketball head coach Doug Bruno. Bruno stressed the importance of not only speaking out, but also of the necessity of action. The main thing Bruno highlighted is the need for people to learn and be educated, especially on the topic of race.  Below are some links
