To the dean of the School of Public Health at the University of Memphis, its mission begins — but doesn’t end — with data. He’s on “Behind The Headlines.” On another episode of the show, a reporters’ roundtable looks at the problems plaguing the Memphis Area Transit Authority and the new trial for former Memphis police officers convicted in Tyré Nichols’ death. DJ Naylor and Reny Alfonso join “Sound Bites” host Holly Whitfield to talk about Celtic Crossing reopening, Irish pubs and more. Also, what is a dive bar anyway? On this another “Sound Bites,” Whitfield talks to Cole Jeanes and Harrison Downing about the definition of a dive bar and about a weekly breakfast-biscuit pop-up. This week on “The AM/DM”: Interim Superintendent Roderick Richmond’s administration is expected to produce a list of schools to close or consolidate later this month, and at least one board member said there’s no need to keep kicking the can down the road. Also, for more than a decade, DeAndre Brown was one of Memphis’ most visible advocates for giving people leaving prison a second chance, but now, that story has taken a dramatic turn. And out of all Shelby County’s municipalities, Germantown may have the least available land left to develop, but there are 33 acres of what could be prime real estate just west of the popular Saddle Creek shopping center.
