Crimetown

[edit]
  • ... that the New York Times said the podcast Crimetown "advances the [true crime] genre" and called it one of the "Best New Podcasts of 2016"?
    • ALT1:... that the podcast Crimetown formed a unique partnership with the Providence Journal in what Nieman Lab calls "a new local media format"?
    • ALT2:... that a central figure in the podcast Crimetown is a Mayor who was re-elected as a convicted felon, ran on an anti-corruption platform, and went to prison for racketeering?
    • ALT3:... that the podcast Crimetown includes a major organized crime family, a Mayor re-elected after being convicted of a felony, and a mob enforcer turned dungeon master?

  • Review. New enough. Long enough. Neutral. Well sourced. Seems not to be paraphrased, though I don't know how I'd be sure of that without comparing all the sources with the text, which really seems an exhausting process that I doubt anyone would do. Hooks: original looks the best to me. ALT1 doesn't really make sense, ALTs 2 and 3 are a bit in-world for most people, I think (a crime thing has crime stuff in it, isn't that hooky). QPQ looks fine to me, but as I don't really know much about DYK I'm not sure I'm a great judge. --Dweller (talk) Become old fashioned! 09:27, 17 July 2017 (UTC)
