A future cloud-computing hub — at the site of a another development that never panned out — is among the topics on “Behind The Headlines” a reporters’ roundtable. On another episode of the show, Shelby County Mayor Lee Harris said he has tried to meet with federal officials from the Memphis Safe Task Force to talk about his concerns ICE agents are racially “profiling” Memphians. On “The AM/DM”: For the past year and a half, the Shelby County Jail — commonly known as 201 Poplar — has been over its 2,400-inmate capacity. Also, Editorial Director Mary Cashiola talks to University of Memphis football reporter Frank Bonner about where the program is now, how important the new coach is for the university and what to know as the Tigers go into the Gasparilla Bowl in Tampa, Florida. Another episode looked at before the Memphis Safe Task Force when there was Viper, an FBI operation that occurred quietly this past summer. And as with every week, Cashiola and Newsletter Editor Bianca Phillips previewed the week and weekend ahead. Daily Memphian CEO Eric Barnes talks to Lakenna Booker, who is the executive director of Memphis Merit Academy, on this week’s “Sidebar” podcast.
