It\u2019s a tragedy for young people, people of color. It\u2019s a tragedy for the subjects of stories that won\u2019t get written now. That\u2019s just the reality.\u201d\n\nThanks to Mail Chimp, Mubi, and Skillshare for sponsoring this week's episode.\n@mshalhoup\nShalhoup on Longform\n[01:15] Creative Loafing\n[01:20] Chicago Reader\n[01:35] "Rich People Demolished L.A.
