With this in mind, Michael Bortinger, general manager of KWUR 90.3 FM (http://www.kwur.com) , has produced a new campus radio show, "Uncensored," to coincide with the campaign season.

"It is important for me to be involved with the debate through student media, since our media show more flexibility than mainstream media," says Bortinger.

His new program will feature interviews with community leaders and politicians, as well as wide-ranging comments from students about life on campus, the candidates, and the debate. Voices often missing from regular network coverage will be heard, including Greens, Libertarians, student protestors, and others outside the mainstream.

The show airs Sunday evenings, 8-9 pm, Central. Listen online at http://kwur.wustl.edu.
