Streetsblog’s Next Interview…with Damien Newton

Since our re-launch last August, we've been running an occasional series interviewing people who are part of the tapestry of transportation reform advocates working hard in the city. We decided to run a series with the Board of the Southern California Streets Initiative, the group helping me raise funds to keep L.A. Streetsblog moving forward.

Since our re-launch last August, we’ve been running an occasional series interviewing people who are part of the tapestry of transportation reform advocates working hard in the city. We decided to run a series with the Board of the Southern California Streets Initiative, the group helping me raise funds to keep L.A. Streetsblog moving forward.

Since these interviews are done over email, it would be pretty easy for you, the readers, to interview me the same way I interview everyone else.  So, in an effort to help all of you get to know me, and to understand how and why stories are written the way they are, fire away.  Ask questions in the comments section about anything related even in the slightest to Streetsblog and I’ll answer the first ten that you pose sometime early next week.
