We were called for people that were looking for a story, that were looking for somebody that was crying because their loved one wasn't found yet. And for us it was frustrated . . . in a moment like this, that can be transactional." - Magaly Urdiales Guests: Brooklyn Brown (Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians): Reporter, Cherokee One Feather; Magaly Urdiales: Co-founder, JMPRO Community Media; Amir Khafagy (Co-host): Journalist, Report for America Member, Documented
