Cancer Activism

On this edition of Charlotte Talks with Mike Collins, a discussion about how cancer awareness groups began building awareness and ultimately ended up competing against each other for visibility and congressional dollars. We'll talk with the authors of a new book called "Cancer Activism" about cancer, the media and public policy. Guests: Dr. Marilyn Sarow - Associate Professor of Mass Communication, Winthrop University. Dr. Karen Kedrowski - Professor and Chair, Department of Political Science, Winthrop University.
