"Media Activism Turns Two: A Portrait of Street Sights." The College Hill Independent, 16 April 2009.

I wrote this piece about Street Sights, the housing and homelessness paper I'll hopefully be working with this summer, and was rather pleased with how it turned out. I was even more pleased when the staff told me how much they liked the piece and how accurately they felt it portrayed them. As a history student frequently dealing with issues of agency and enfranchisement, it was an issue I had worried about quite a bit; the last thing I would want to do when writing about a publication designed to give voice the voiceless would be to misrepresent it and its constituency.
