this program IS PART OF WFPL NEWS' YEAR-LONG PROJECT THE NEXT LOUISVILLE: RACE, ETHNICITY AND CULTURE.
A national conversation about race is happening -- with or without the media.
At NPR’s Code Switch, a team of journalists and editors tries to keep it in context, probing issues of access and authenticity with deeply reported stories and analysis.
Earlier this month, we hosted Kat Chow, a founding member of NPR's Code Switch team, for a conversation before an audience at the Frazier History Museum.
During the hour-long conversation, we touched on a wide variety of topics, from the concept of code switching and how the Code Switch team got started at NPR to the intersection of food and race. We talked about covering race on a more micro level, in our own community, and how cities and citizens can better engage.
You can listen to the full conversation in the player above.
