On this morning’s 10am edition of Your Call’s Media Roundtable, I’ll be hosting a discussion of the coverage of Hurricane Dorian, which has left a path of destruction in its wake in the Bahamas and is now lashing the East Coast of the United States.

We’ll also talk about AB 5 (Gonzalez), a California measure that would extend labor protections and benefits to workers labeled as independent
contractors. The bill will have major implications for “gig economy” contractors and companies like Uber and Lyft, among others. Guests include:

• Bob Berwyn, freelance environmental reporter who writes
  for publications including InsideClimate News and
  Deutsche Welle and is an international correspondent for Santa
  Barbara-based Pacific Standard magazine
• Henry Fountain, reporter and editor at the New York Times and the
  author of The Great Quake: How the Biggest Earthquake in North America Changed our Understanding of the Planet
• Lauren Gurley, staff writer at Vice News’ Motherboard,
  covering the labor movement in the tech sector
