Housekeeping Claudia Rowe to Run The Stranger's News Department
Posted by Christopher Frizzelle on Mon, Sep 14, 2009 at 2:45 PM
The rumors are true: The Stranger has hired Claudia Rowe to run our news department. Rowe wrote an assessment of the mayor's handling of youth violence for The Stranger earlier this month, and has been writing about youth, race, and social justice for nearly 20 years, most recently at the Seattle Post-Intelligencer. In 2008, her portrayal of a south Seattle family shattered by their teenage son's accidental shooting of his stepbrother won a Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism and helped save a 16-year-old from going to state prison. Last spring, Harvard University honored Claudia for her revealing reporting on the allure of gangs—for instance, this piece of reporting for the P-I about gangs in Seattle: how they work, how they're organized geographically, why teenagers join them, what they get out of them, what the city is doing about it. And she has been contributing to the New York Times, reporting on everything from school budgets to environmental science, since 1997.
As news editor, Claudia will be managing The Stranger's coverage of local politics, crime, drug reform, transportation, and the environment. And she'll be on Slog every day. We are thrilled to have her. She starts October 1.
UPDATE: Here.

Yay for comprehensive city coverage.
That isn't the rumor we've been hearing...
...so is it true that Dominic is Dan's lovechild by a Stranger cleaning lady?

I've seen The Stranger's offices; I recommend the industrial size bottle of Orange Glo and possibly disposable booties for your shoes.
So, when are you guys going daily?

Welcome to the land Dan Savage's version of journalism. You found a way to go downhill from Hearst.

Please read The Urban Archipelago from the Nov 11 – Nov 17, 2004 issue and look at a map of the physical distiribution points for "The Stranger". Next, please single-handedly run Reichert out of office. Thanks.
