Hey Porter here’s what I’m talkin about….
Guy that runs the Northeast News, a little penny saver type local sheet comes out every two weeks or so I’m not sure but it’s a Grocery store paper…
The guy decides to use it as a crime stopper, he uses it to warn the neighbor hood about gangs and how to Identify and stop them..
He even prints mug shots of most wanted in the paper and Tuesday they arrested one of the big trouble makers, a gangster and he’s in jail…
the neighbor hood is coming together behind this little throw a way paper…
Think what the EX could do with this same attitude…
Instead of printing there’s no problem just kids…
Tell the truth, name names, and show the gang signs in the paper so we know what were dealing with…
Print the dealer’s pictures stop the crime way before it starts, that’s what a good reporter at a good newspaper could do…
You a good reporter ???
Northeast's Most Wanted
Wow! I get that paper - and that feature WORKS!
They just caught another bad guy and I think are averaging at least one arrest a week on it. People in Northeast (unlike the East Side) actually call in when they see a "wanted" fugitive in the paper.
They've gotten a couple of awards for that column as well, most recently a CrimeStoppers International Media award, beating out over 2,000 other media outlets world wide. The Most wanted piece is what got them that award!
Pretty heady stuff for a "grocery rag"
(which its not, they actually get awards from the Missouri Press Assn too)

...another week - another "perp" pinched
