Episode 050: The Media Agenda with ABC (WJLA) Anchor, Mimi Geerges (The LIFE WORKS Podcast, Hosted by Mark Botros)
We’re living in a time of converging crises amid a pandemic, economic uncertainty, cries for social justice, riots, insurrections, and a frontline battle of truth and misinformation. We’re living in a time where the media itself, has become as much of the focus as the news it covers.
Mimi Geerges is a veteran broadcaster in TV and Radio, She was the Host and Executive Producer of the “The Mimi Geerges Show”, which was aired nationally for almost 16 years on SiriusXM Radio and PBS. Her show featured some of the most influential Washington DC power brokers, as well as leaders and luminaries from around the world. Mimi is also the Founder and President of Papyrus Media Group. In this interview, we discuss how the media really works from a real media insider. Does the media have its own agenda, or are they giving us EXACTLY what we want? YOU decide.
