PBS to launch weekly series for ‘civil’ debate of issues

LOS ANGELES – PBS says it’s launching a weekly series as a forum for what it called “spirited and civil” discussion of national issues.

The series, “Point Taken,” will be hosted by journalist Carlos Watson, PBS said Thursday. Each half-hour episode will focus on a single topic, with guests including reporters, artists and experts exploring it from different sides. The public will be invited to take part through polling and social media, PBS said, calling such participation a core part of the series.
