Dirty Dogtown, a One-Neighborhood Newsroom

Why it surfaced

Dirty Dogtown gives a small place a distinct editorial identity, publishing sourced headlines, neighborhood comments, and a tip line under the banner “Sourced by the neighborhood.” Its opening issue pairs a 20-year baseball-park lease with an investigation into roughly $500,000 in questionable police overtime, making this feel like a real civic project rather than a generic local-news shell.
