I'll be editing the publication alongside @jenn_swann and @thesarahbennett.
We're grateful for logistical support, sage wisdom and guidance courtesy of @EPICMAGAZINE -- specifically, @fierman and @joshbearman, two of the finest journalists in this city or any other.

The idea is for a print publication that covers modern-day LA from the ground level.
We'll attempt to tell stories that exist at the intersection of race and gender, immigration and gentrification, politics, culture, class, and the ever-evolving nature of Los Angeles itself.

We'll continue to tirelessly fight the crypto-fascists at Vichy LA Weekly until they fall, but at a certain point, this was never about them. This was about the city that we love, the culture that we're attempting to chronicle, the important stories that are going untold.
This is a labor of love for the editors & designers (shout out @EvanSolano), but the writers will be paid. We have a substantial amount of funding committed for the first issue but we're looking for another sponsorship partner, so if you're that person or know that person. Holler
We all understand that this is a woeful climate for print media, but are committed to at least publishing this 1st issue & going from there. Your support is crucial. More details to come, including live events. It's a ton of work so please be patient. And thank you for caring.
