Rick Brough
Reporter EmeritusKnown for getting all the facts right, as well as his distinctive sign-off, Rick covered Summit County meetings and issues for 35 years on KPCW. He now heads the Friday Film Review team. From time-to-time Rick is called out of retirement to cover special events.
Rick is also a pop-culture savant (who would bury you in Trivial Pursuit), which makes him the perfect host for KPCW's weekend interview shows of filmmakers, actors and critics during the Sundance Film Festival.

Director Bao Nguyen and journalist Gary Knight tell how a two-year investigation uncovers a scandal behind the making of one of the most-recognized photographs of the 20th century.

In the absence of new, convincing evidence to the contrary, the AP has no reason to believe anyone other than Ut took the photo."
