Journalism, if you believe the headlines, is always at some kind of crossroads<\/a>. Tampa Bay is one of the largest media markets in the U.S., and its home to talented journalists whose work reaches across the Bay area and country.<\/p>\n

Eric Deggans<\/a>\u2014who worked at Tampa Bay Times from 2006-2013\u2014is now a Knight Professor of Journalism and Media Ethics at\u00a0Washington and Lee University is one such journalist and also critic at large at NPR.<\/p>\n

He joined WMNF\u2019s The Skinny by Zoom on Friday morning to discuss the recent criticism of controversial Editor-in-chief of CBS News, Bari Weiss, who recently pulled a story<\/a> about the Trump administration\u2019s deportation of Venezuelan migrants to a prison in El Salvador.<\/p>\n

In the studio for The Skinny on Friday, Jan. 2 were Tim Kania, who has been a photojournalist doing TV news since 1993, and photojournalist Dave Decker<\/a> who both discussed the tools of their trade, along with Decker\u2019s recent legal battle after being arrested by Miami officers while covering an ICE protest<\/a>.<\/p>\n
