Don Bolles’ legacy and press violence today
Description
50 years ago, a bomb exploded underneath the car of Arizona Republic investigative reporter Don Bolles outside the Clarendon Hotel, where he was set to meet a source.
He was mostly known during his life for exploring and excavating corruption in Arizona through his reporting on the state's ties to the mob.
This week on The Gaggle, we are joined by author and journalist Jeremy Duda and Republic reporter Richard Ruelas. Together, they share the famed story of the Bolles assassination.
Later in the show, Trevor Timm, the co-founder and the executive director of Freedom of the Press Foundation, talks with us about the status of the free press and violence against reporters today.
