SHOW #9: FIVE BEFORE MIDNIGHT – ONE CITIZEN’S OVERVIEW OF CITY GOVERNMENT » i.e. with ralph & tim

Downtown Riverside’s Coffee Depot was the location for our conversation with journalist Mary Shelton about her blog, “Five Before Midnight.”

Mary Shelton's blog, "Five Before Midnight," takes a critical look at Riverside city government.

Mary Shelton's blog, 'Five Before Midnight,'
takes a close look at Riverside city government and law enforcement.

The mission statement is the first thing you read: “This site is dedicated to the continuous oversight of the Riverside(CA)Police Department, which was formerly overseen by the state attorney general. This blog will hopefully play that role being free of City Hall’s micromanagement.” What follows is a concise and literate record of what is happening in Riverside city matters – a far more complete record than what is offered by traditional Riverside media. In addition to Riverside news, you’ll also find noteworthy local government and law enforcement news from other regions in the state and nation.

If you’re interested in what’s going on behind the stories you’re reading in the local traditional media, you don’t want to miss this show.
