The Capital Gazette’s presses never stopped, because journalists never stop

When I saw the news about the deadly shooting at the Capital Gazette in Maryland, like most Americans I was shocked and like most journalists, I was horrified and heartbroken. Five people are dead. From CNN: “The door of the Capital Gazette had been blown to pieces. It was in shattered pieces all on the…

Nine years of feminism direct from Las Vegas!

Are you ready for this? This is The Sin City Siren’s ninth birthday! That’s right. The Sin City Siren started on May 6, 2007 – a month before the first iPhones went on sale and the same summer that J.K. Rowling released Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. It was also the same year that…

Truth to power: Why the RJ’s ethics problem is a problem for us all

It was only a matter of time until things were going to go sideways at the Las Vegas Review Journal* campus.

While it was no surprise, the news this week that Las Vegas CityLife is ending still touched a deep nerve in our community. The self-described “gritty” alternative weekly newspaper was always a bit of an underdog in its 21-year run, especially in a city that celebrates glitter over substance and g-strings over bootstraps.

[Updated] Year-end reviews forget NV sex ed debate, #fierceflores

As we count down the final days of 2013, the inevitable year-in-review stories start popping up. Two recent ones caught my eye, as much for what they said as for what they left out. In RH Reality Check’s Top Pro-Choice Heroes of 2013, we are treated to a diverse round-up of “sheroes” who put it…

The end of The Sin City Siren?

My beautiful, amazing, fierce Sirens: I’ve been sitting here staring at my computer for at least 10 minutes. I have no idea how to begin to say all the things I want to say right now. But here goes … After six and a half years, it’s time for me to move on to the…
