HeatCity

I started HEAT CITY as a place where my friends in journalism and I could help cover stories that the major local media outlets are not covering. The work here is totally free, though I do provide the option for you to donate a little money to keep original, independent journalism alive in Arizona. Mostly, you'll get original reporting on HEAT CITY, a rare sight from independent bloggers in Arizona. For now, the only thing I ask of you, dear reader, is that you enjoy the work posted here, think about it, post an occasional comment and e-mail me with exclusive story tips and feedback as you see fit. Also, if you would like to use me for on-air radio or television analysis, or hire me for freelance reporting or writing work, contact me anytime. Enjoy HEAT CITY in good health.
