Episode 5:
The Death of Alt Weeklies,
Catherine Wagley

Episode 5

May 16, 2018

The death of alt weeklies — The responsibility of the writer — Creating inclusive news platforms for local communities — How do we make art writing accessible to a wide audience?

Writer’s Room

Lindsay is joined by Carla writer, Catherine Wagley, to discuss her recent Carla article “Accessible as Humanly Possible.” We discuss recent shifts in publishing platforms like LA Weekly, as well as the importance of accessibility and vulnerability in art writing. What is the changing role of the art critic, and how can writing be more inclusive to a wider audience?
