(from) IT STARTED WITH A KISS: FINDING SHELTER AMONG THE STRAY CATS What news of a murdered girlfriend triggers
BY JOE DONNELLYPublished on December 04, 2008

.....In my time as deputy editor of L.A. Weekly, I tried to do the same — to open the paper to a new generation of writers hoping to share their own weird voices with the city. New talent is the lifeblood of any paper that hopes to be as dynamic and vital as L.A. Weekly aspires to be, and the Weekly was, at the time, overdue for some new blood. So many examples come to mind, but if I had to hold one up as symbolic, it would have to be Sam Slovick and his three-part cover series on the challenges posed by Skid Row in the context of the new downtown Los Angeles. Published between December 2005 and August 2006, the pieces were sprawling, epic investigations of the pressures of life in the middle of what police chief William Bratton called “the worst social problem in America.” Slovick told his stories from the perspectives of the police, politicians and mostly the elderly and the young trying to carve out some dignity, hope and balance in an unforgiving environment.Slovick was an unpolished and unproven talent at the time, but he possessed a sharp eye and a unique voice and, as the street hustler he once was, had an uncanny knack for disarming folks — whether they walked the halls of power or the streets of Skid Row. He represented something I wanted to see more at the Weekly — a raw, street-level, unprofessional (as opposed to institutional) approach to covering the city. Bloody, brutal, heartbreaking and sometimes uplifting, Slovick’s pieces were impossible to ignore. They were copied, passed around and cited at City Hall policy debates; they helped to inform; were the inspiration for a five-part documentary series produced by Good magazine, which appeared on various Web sites; and were finalists for several social-issue awards. I know they wouldn’t have found a home anywhere else, which is a testament not to me, but to the spirit of L.A. Weekly.Writers are weird. We’re dysfunctional and insecure. We’re childish and wise. Occasionally brilliant. We’re stray cats, and we have the blues. We need homes. L.A. Weekly offered me and so many other wonderful weirdos some shelter, a place to feel not so alone, to try to make a difference in this wild and wonderful city."file:///Users/samslovick/Desktop/images.jpeg
