08/21/2017: Checking out the eclipse on your Twitter feed

As you might have heard, there’s a solar eclipse happening today. But even if you’re not in the so-called path of “totality,” you can stream it on Twitter thanks to its partnership with the Weather Channel. Neil Katz, editor in chief of The Weather Company, joined us to talk about how it’s going to film the eclipse and how the company thinks about programming in the digital age. Afterwards, we’ll dive into issues with data privacy agreements.
