I'm building and writing Question Mark, Ohio, with the novelist Joe Meno …
while also helping the Chicago Reader revitalize their website …
and shipping the Trying, Cooper Black, and Marginally Employed patches I made for you …
and helping run the Civic Media Fellowships at USC …
and actually being a fellow at the DePaul Center for Journalism Integrity and Excellence …
and hosting and producing the weekly podcast Says Who …
and making stickers for the Says Who Sticker Club …
and wow that is a lot.
I ended the indictment.fyi newsletter tonight and I feel a little guilty about it, so as penance, maybe, or out of a feeling that if I've taken something out of the world maybe I should also put something back in, here's three things I've been particularly excited about lately. Here's three for flinching.
Fresh out of college and in need of a job I landed in the production department of the Chicago Reader. Now, 30 years later, I'm back to help rebuild its legacy on the web.
Cooper Black, A Love Story & A Patch
