Don't Let Me See You In The Whirl

Since 1938, a weekly African-American owned newspaper
called The Evening Whirl has covered crime in St. Louis
with a style all its own, using alliteration and rhyme, and often
omitting the usual crime-reporting words like "accused" or
"alleged." The paper has been widely criticized for its casual
approach to fact-checking and sensational writing style. But the
paper's owner, Anthony Sanders, who has been helping out with it
since he was 18 years old, doesn't have any plans to change it. As
the pages of The Whirl have said: “If that’s too much for you, pick
up the Times and read the theatre reviews.”  Say hello on
