On a good day, the news stories are accurate, timely and not slanted to promote a hidden agenda. Most of these stories are written from the top down and not from the view of the people living the story. Providing the world-view of situations is exactly what the news should provide and this requires top-down reporting. However, the individual human part of the story is also important.
Economic policies, enforcement of immigration, factory closings, drug wars, and 108 degree temperatures are all stories told from the top down. I hope to turn those stories upside-down and write from the street level. People are where these stories begin.
