NPR All Things Considered on Barnett Shale

From FW Can Do-----

Be prepared to endure "a Fair and Balanced" report that will, at times, disgust and annoy you. (Energy company reps and their water carriers will have their say.) Remember, at this point in the game, money is the thing that tends that attract news media.

They'll be back later to report on the environmental catastrophes and deadly pipeline explosions.

Nevertheless, this report by John Burnett brings us some national exposure and highlights a growing problem that is spreading like cancer around the USA. Tune in your local station.

... from NPR reporter John Burnett:

All,
Many thanks for your help with the story. NPR’s report on the Barnett Shale will air today on All Things Considered in the first half-hour of the program. If news breaks, it always can get pushed to a later date. On KERA 90.1 FM, it should air between 5 and 5:30 local time. If you miss it, you can go to
www.npr.org after the show is over, type “Barnett Shale” into the search window, and listen to it online.

Best regards,
John

  1. The Wall Street Journal is in town for tomorrow's FWCREDO rally and the joint city council / task force meeting. The national media is becoming more interested in Fort Worth as a test case as shale plays move east.
