It’s #newsandboooze time with journalists Juan M Thompson-The Intercept, Derrick Clifton-Mic News and Jarrett Murphy-City Limits who discuss the line between journalism and activism. At what point does a journalist become an activist and can these two roles go hand in hand? From the full Straight Up episode: From Ferguson to Freddie Gray: How the media covers race.

Producer's Note: On February 2, 2016 Juan Thompson's editors at The Intercept published a note to readers that indicated he had fabricated elements of his reporting. Some of the stories that have been retracted or corrected may have been ones he referred to during this interview. BRIC is no longer in collaboration with Juan Thompson.
