FLASHPOINTS

Program and station logos courtesy of KPFA

PROGRAM Flashpoints is a hard-hitting, daily investigative radio newsmagazine. The


DESCRIPTION producers specialize in going after the stories that the corporate media
and the alternative media have given up on: the occupation of Palestine,
the overthrow of democracy in Haiti, the cleansing of Native tribes and
the militarization at the US-Mexico border, the deportation of pregnant
immigrant women, et cetera. Whenever possible, we go for frontline
sources; people in the war zone or on the front lines where the action or
the resistance is taking place. Sometimes our sound is gritty, but the
information is always fresh and presents a clear alternative to the
corporate media's extreme censorship.
CLOCK & TOPICS Flashpoints is 59:10, with a five-minute newscast (The Knight Report)
at the top, followed by several segments on varying topics depending
on the top news stories of the day.
