Journalism professor Judy Muller (pictured) will host "Town Hall Journal," Town Hall Los Angeles' weekly radio magazine on Sundays at 9 p.m. starting Sept. 13.
A half-hour news magazine, Town Hall Journal is an in-depth look into issues important to Angelenos. Hosted by Muller, a veteran ABC News Correspondent, the broadcast will share the best ideas of recent speakers and dip into the "vault of speakers-past," providing insight into the city's history.
"Town Hall Los Angeles has been the forum for world leaders and voice of Angelenos since 1937," said Jon Goodman, Ph.D., president of Town Hall. "With this radio magazine, we bring the issues and solutions discussed at Town Hall to all Angelenos through weekly broadcasts, Web streaming and podcasting, courtesy of our partner, KPCC. In essence, our programs are now available to the public on-demand. The 'Journal' maintains our nonpartisan tradition by exploring the conflicts raised at our events with the guidance of accomplished journalist Judy Muller."
The Journal enhances Town Hall's live events by investigating the critical issues facing LA — a city often called the Ellis Island of the 21st century. Muller brings her independent eye to exploring the city's accelerating transformation. She is an Emmy Award-winning television correspondent and National Public Radio commentator. On ABC's "Nightline" team, she received an Alfred I. duPont-Columbia University Award for coverage of the 1992 Los Angeles riots and an Emmy Award for coverage of the OJ Simpson murder trial.
