CP welcomes new staff writer Ryan Briggs

POSTED: Friday, January 25, 2013, 8:30 AM

City Paper is happy to announce that Ryan Briggs joins us as a staff writer, beginning on Monday, Jan. 28. Briggs comes to us from being a fellow at the urban-issues online journal Next City (until recently known as Next American City, but a newly expanded international focus prompted a name change). At Next City he covered local planning and development issues for their blog and wrote long-form features. He's also been a contributing writer for Metropolis, the Philly website (edited by former long-time Inquirer reporter, editor and columnist Tom Ferrick) that publishes investigative pieces, commentary and essays. For Metropolis, Briggs has explored the world of Kensington flophouses and the Philly government oddity of "walking around money," what Briggs calls "a piggy bank for the city's political class." He's a Temple grad who was once a mayor's intern, a fact that we kinda love.

Send him tips! You can reach him at ryan.briggs@citypaper.net.
