EDGERTON ON 'WITH GOOD REASON' JUNE 16

Gary Edgerton, professor of communication and chair of the Department of Communication and Theatre Arts at Old Dominion University, will be a guest on the radio program "With Good Reason" on Monday, June 16.

Edgerton, co-editor of the Journal of Popular Film and Television, will join with Richmond Times-Dispatch reporter Rex Bowman, who was deployed with U.S. forces in Iraq, for a discussion of media embedding. More live footage was broadcast of the first two days of the recent Iraqi war then in all of Operation Desert Storm in 1991, but that doesn't mean television viewers got a complete picture, Edgerton said.

The program, which highlights the expertise of Virginia's college and university faculty, airs at 11a.m. on WHRV-FM (89.5).
