- In this weeks Underreported feature, Avis Jones-DeWeever from the Institute for Womens Policy Research offers some perspective on the recent Census Bureau findings on the earning gap between men and women, and between white women and minorities. Next, sportswriter Ben Green joins Harlem Globetrotters Eathan OBryant and Dr. John Kline for a look at the teams past and present. Then, well open up the phones and get your thoughts on whether the media is overly saturated with celebrity coverage. And well end with a panel discussion about the business of publishing, and how the roles of editors and literary agents are changing. Wage Gaps Avis Jones-DeWeever, the Poverty, Welfare, and Income Security Study Director for the Institute for Womens Policy Research, gives us an update on the earning gap between men and women, and how race further widens wage discrepancies. Women earn 76 cents for every dollar earned by the average American man. But African American women earn only 66 cents on the dollar, and Hispanic women earn 55 cents on the dollar. » More on the Institute for Womens Policy Research Music: Soundtrack to Erin Brockovich, music by Thomas Newman: "Useless" / "On the Plume" Spinning the Globe Sportswriter Ben Green, current Harlem Globetrotter Eathan OBryant, and retired player Dr. John Kline, examine the history and significance of one of basketballs most famous teams in Spinning the Globe.

Isaac Wittys comedy career started very early in life when at the age of 16 he began performing in his church youth group. At 20 years old, when Isaac was three hours short of an associates degree in Radio and TV Broadcast, a comedy club opened in his hometown of Tulsa, Oklahoma. Had it not opened, he would be a college graduate today. Instead he picked the road less traveled, jumping head first into the world of stand-up comedy. Hes been on the Late Show with David Letterman, and he just taped an episode of Premium Blend on Comedy Central. He will perform at the Telephone Bar on the evening of May 5th, on 2nd Avenue between 9th and 10th St. » More at isaacwitty.com And thanks for Jessica Bauman for co-producing this segment.
