FLASHBACK 2009: A muckraker's guide to Utah
A muckraker is that rare journalist, gadfly, activist or social critic who values unadulterated, truth-dripping evidence over the artful quotation of a dubious source—an executive, politician, lawyer, bureaucrat, cop, crackhead, dweeb, wasteoid, or the like. This guide aims to aid fellow malcontents in finding that evidence, and coaxing it away from those disinclined to let it go.
In commemoration of City Weekly's 40th anniversary, we are digging into our archives to celebrate. Each week, we FLASHBACK to a story or column from our past in honor of four decades of local alt-journalism. Whether the names and issues are familiar or new, we are grateful to have this unique newspaper to contain them all.
Title: How to Keep Tabs on the Man Author: Eric S. Peterson and Shane Johnson Date: May 28, 2009 Reposted from the original Any biped with Google and a Steno pad can call him/herself a journalist.
