| Description: | Antonio French was trained as a journalist, wrote for the St. Louis Argus, and even published his own paper, Public Defender, so it’s not quite right to label him a “citizen journalist”—it sounds like a hobby, not a serious pursuit. French is an independent reporter who uses his blog, pubdef.net, to report stories that get left in the dust by mainstream media. His reportage on the ’06 elections was picked up by national media outlets like NPR, Fox and Meet the Press, yet French continues to cover the intensely grass-roots stuff, posting video footage of city hall meetings and making St. Louis government more transparent for all of us. Some love him, some hate him, but it’s undeniable that he’s turning Missouri politics upside-down. |
