Episode 36: City Bureau Journalist Justin Agrelo
Thursday Oct 29, 2020
Thursday Oct 29, 2020
Our guest is journalist Justin Agrelo. He's currently covering housing for local Chicago media outlet, City Bureau, and some of you may know him for his piece in Mother Jones on the history of the Puerto Rican flag. We’re going to talk about his experience as a Puerto Rican journalist, representation in journalism, the history of the Puerto Rican flag and the importance of reporting on housing.
Keep in mind, we recorded this with Justin a few weeks ago before we got our new sound setup, so the audio is going to sound like a Zoom call......because it is. =)
