MOSES LAKE — On this week's STUDIO BASIN Podcast, Managing Editor R. Hans "Rob" Miller and Senior Reporter Joel Martin discuss the results of the initiative ballot measure to repeal a ban on natural gas in new construction in Washington and lessons from how coverage of that issue can be used to improve media literacy. Readers are encouraged to think about where news outlets may be trying to lead them rather than allowing them to decide for themselves as they should.  

In sports, Sports Reporter Ian Bivona breaks down Royal's run to the 1A Girls State Soccer Tournament and ACH and Royal advancing on in their respective state football tournaments.
