Focus

Focus, or Focus 580, was WILL Radio's flagship talk program from 1981 until 2014. David Inge was the host from 1981 until his retirement in 2012. Always engaging, the program acted as a resource for citizens to directly question politicians and candidates as well as keep up on the arts, science, health, and even the latest from well-known novelists.

The Focus archive below offers thousands of great interviews and serves as a time capsule and a great resource for researchers and those just curious about how influential people spoke of important topics as they were happening.

Monitoring The Progress of Science In The Digital Age

Guest: Katy Börner.

Today we have access to more information than ever before in human history, but our ability to absorb that information hasn't changed much. How do we go about organizing all that can be known in a way that makes it accessible? Today on Focus, Katy Börner joins us from the School of Library and Information Science at Indiana University. A leader in the field of visualization of information. Börner talks about how mapping techniques can be used to describe entire landscapes of knowledge.
