So I just heard that @_gears__ and @clarktrandall were awarded for their article on Nathan Cooper at @ArchCityDefense's Excellence in Poverty Journalism awards. Big congrats! Now read the article if you haven't already (and if you have, read it again): riverfronttimes.com/stlouis/nathan…
Thanks to @ArchCityDefense for recognizing our work @bellevillenewsd. I'm a single mom living in East St. Louis with a degree, a passion for journalism and love for my community. This award proves that Black moms can do it too! Documentaries, diaper changes, everything.
In searing article @_gears__ and @ClarkRandall uncover key dynamics of landlord practices in the Housing Choice Voucher Program in St Louis. They document in vivid detail one landlord’s unscrupulous tactics that voucher trap families in poor neighborhoods bit.ly/2tJE1Cr
