Covering Senator Kennedy in the News

The World

We talk to Chris Lydon, former host of NPR’s The Connection and creator of Open Source radio. He has covered Senator Kennedy throughout his years as a reporter. We also talk with Jeff Zeleny, White House correspondent at The New York Times who is on Martha’s Vineyard waiting for President Obama to speak about Kennedy’s death and legacy.
