"9-11 Anniversary" radio episode

Title

"9-11 Anniversary" radio episode

Description

An audio recording by Oregon Congressman Les AuCoin regarding the first anniversary of 9/11. Reflecting on the first year post-9/11, AuCoin points out how journalism had transformed "from a profession into a commodity producer...garnished with a dose of American jingoism." For the first anniversary, AuCoin advocates for simplicity, reflection, remembrance and embracing silence, because “silence is golden." This is one episode from AuCoin's biweekly radio show on Jefferson Public Radio (JPR), which ran after he had retired from office. The majority of episodes feature his commentary on current political events, often focusing on issues important to southern Oregon where JPR is based. This episode aired in September 2002.
