On The Media examines what role the media play in our grieving and collective mourning process. The show speaks to Terry Parris Jr., the head of a New York City organization called "the City" that is attempting to gather obituaries for every single New Yorker who has died from the coronavirus. The effort, he says, is to turn numbers and data back into individual people. Plus, Janice Hume, author of "Obituaries in American Culture," discusses the role newspapers have traditionally played in recording deaths, and what we can learn from those records over time.see more

President Obama appears ready to go it alone on an overhaul of the nation's immigration system. According to news reports, the administration's plan, which could be released as early as next week, may include protecting up to five million undocumented immigrants from the threat of deportation. Republicans in Congress vowed to block any executive action by the president on immigration.
