To all those who frequent this discussion board:
We just wanted you to know that an investigative public radio program named “Reveal,” produced by CIR (Center for Investigative Reporting) and PRX, will present today, Saturday, February 14th, the results of new investigations uncovering hidden stories.
No matter where you live in the world, if you have access to the Internet, you can hear the February 14th scoop at the Reveal website about the secrets Jehovah’s Witnesses “kept under wraps.” Here’s the link: http://www.revealnews.org/article/jehovahs-witnesses-use-1st-amendment-to-hide-child-sex-abuse-claims/
In this week’s story, there will be three different topics covered.
You’ll hear the secrets of what one powerful religious hierarchy was keeping under wraps; troops opening up about their experiences with torture and whether officers are being held accountable; and Reveal’s look at why so many cities in the U.S. are left without high-speed broadband.
The name of the segment about Jehovah’s Witnesses is “Trying to Keep Secrets.”
The “Reveal” radio show gets picked up by more than 200 public radio stations around the country. So whatever the public radio station is in a given region, that's where it will air. NPR doesn't distribute the show, but in most places, the show will air on the same station you would tune in to listen to NPR.
Each station will start broadcasting February 14th Reveal stories whenever they want to program it starting today, Saturday, at 12:01 A.M. Most stations will likely air it over the weekend (when a lot of listeners tend to tune into public radio), or early next week. Some will run it multiple times and some will run it later in the month. It will air in most of the major markets: New York City, Chicago, etc.
The show will be live on the Reveal website starting today, Saturday, so you can listen to it anytime you want to. And you can distribute it to everyone you know by sending out the link to the Reveal site. http://www.revealnews.org/article/jehovahs-witnesses-use-1st-amendment-to-hide-child-sex-abuse-claims/
Also, the transcript of the show will be available on the Reveal site starting today.
