Transcript: The Buzz September 27, 2024
The 2024 general election is less than six weeks away, and The Buzz is heading into Your Vote 2024 coverage. This week, we go beyond the horse race to talk about efforts to ensure the information being given to the public is accurate.
We start with Jen Fifield, Votebeat's reporter in Arizona, who recently wrote about the work done each year to translate a ballot that is originally written in English into the mostly aural language of the Navajo people.
We then move on to feature the first episode of Fact Check Arizona, AZPM's election-time podcast that seeks to not only correct the record on election-related matters, but also add needed context to complex stories.
In that show's first episode of the season host Steve Jess digs into billboards that have popped up across the nation, particularly in swing states proclaiming a newspaper known as The Epoch Times "#1 Trusted News" with Rocky Mountain PBS' Kyle Cook.
