The controversial, yet temporary, removal of Jimmy Kimmel Live! from the airwaves has sparked a debate about free speech and the reach of the FCC under the Trump administration.

This comes ahead of Journalism Week for Morehouse College, where students, professors, and industry professionals will engage in conversations about media literacy, framing stories and the responsibility of storytellers in drafting history.

“Closer Look” show host Rose Scott is joined by investigative journalist and Morehouse professor Nicole Carr and student journalists Noah Cathey and Elijah Qualls to discuss how the First Amendment is being tested and their approach to journalism at this critical time.
