GATEHOUSE STRIKES AGAIN: WORCESTER MAGAZINE ON THE ROPES

Written by JASON PRAMAS Posted May 29, 2019 Filed Under: Apparent Horizon, COLUMNS, NEWS+OPINIONS

As we walked the mile to my cousin’s place—through middle-class suburban streets nearly bereft of foot traffic (and, in some places, sidewalks)—I looked at the many houses we passed. And thought about the fact that, despite their generally tidy exteriors and the lush greenery all around them, we were walking through a “news desert” in formation.
