What Flights And Facebook May Say About The Missouri Governor's Aspirations

Missouri Gov. Eric Greitens met with President Trump last weekend. It was his fourth trip to Washington D.C. since his election. On KCUR's Statehouse Blend Missouri, we ask the question: Is the governor’s media strategy of relying on Facebook Live instead of press conferences positioning him for the national stage?

As a host and contributor at KCUR, I seek to create a more informed citizenry and richer community. I want to enlighten and inspire our audience by delivering the information they need with accuracy and urgency, clarifying what’s complicated and teasing out the complexities of what seems simple. I work to craft conversations that reveal realities in our midst and model civil discourse in a divided world. Follow me on Twitter @ptsbrian or email me at brian@kcur.org.
Congress just eliminated federal funding for KCUR, but public radio is for the people.

Your support has always made KCUR's work possible — from reporting that keeps officials accountable, to storytelling to connects our community. Help ensure the future of local journalism.
