Aug 21, 2009
Pulitzer Prize-winning newspaperman Charlie LeDuff moved back to his hometown of Detroit to document the story of modern America: race, class, work and decay. He recently got drunk with Thomas Morton and talked about how this has all gone down – and why it’s important for the press (as opposed to the “media”) to continue to the tell the story.
