NEast Philly Wants To Get Real

CP Choice Winner Shannon McDonald — you know, the Temple student reporter who exposed racist coptalk in a ridealong story — has some unexpected and ambitious plans for her NEast Philly newsblog: She wants to give the operation a real-world presence the form of a storefront. Which is why McDonald and co. are applying for a $40,000 Knight Foundation grant (which, Google tells me, does not come with a talking car). Quoth the application:
We intend to rent a small, centrally located office that will serve as an open newsroom for residents and our small staff. We'll choose a resident from each neighborhood to receive basic journalism training, professional support, access to multimedia equipment and a small payment of roughly $15 per post, if they share an update from their neighborhood at least once a week. They will include coverage of monthly civic meetings, but also updates on community events and interviews with other residents. Their coverage will then be curated by our professionally trained editor, whose time will be freer to track trends and write larger, more in-depth pieces when necessary.
Oh - that's why a lot of news web sites disable commenting
Black people are the ones to dehumanize and constantly want others to feel sorry for them and accuses people of racism more than anyone!
Terrible. I'm sorry, but her reporting smacks of petty destructiveness. The guy got fired? Awful. White people like to dehumanize other people by accusing them of racism. next.
[...] The staff blog of Philadelphia CityPaper caught wind of this. [...]
Who said anything about black people? They're just trying to get by like everyone else. I'm talking about the white obsession with anti-black racism. It's another form of white people demonstrating that they're better than you.
