Kat Cizek blogs on Nieman Reports | When Community and Journalism Converge

In this century, more than any other, to be human is to be urban. Yet politicians, journalists and academics have only a meager understanding of what people's lives are like in such places. News can't simply be about what happens in the financial district of a city's downtown core when some of the most significant stories are unfolding in our urban peripheries. There, the neglected and pressing needs of vulnerable communities are found along with stark evidence of economic injustice. Amid the concrete, I find inspiration for change.
