Heard on Tuesdays at 9 a.m and repeated Tuesday evenings at 7 pm. You can call us Tuesday mornings at 275-8989, or 1-800-224-8989 from outside the 559 area code.
Moderator Terry Phillips is a Fresno native whose career in journalism has taken him around the world. He's served as a correspondent for National Public Radio and CBS News - from such places as Moscow, Baghdad, Kabul, Sarajevo...
"Once upon a time," says Phillips, "there was a federal requirement for broadcasters to present controversial issues of public importance in an honest, equal and balanced manner. It was called the Fairness Doctrine. Although no longer mandated by law, I still believe in the concept. QUALITY OF LIFE is intended to serve that purpose."
