Homeless paper: Herald wrong about the Stomper
Spare Change News, the newspaper by and for homeless people, says the Herald erred in making a connection between "the Stomper" (the allegedly violent homeless guy with a predeliction for stomping other homeless people) and the recent death of a homeless man in Downtown Crossing. Mark reposts Spare Change News's article (and gets a comment from a Herald editor dismissing the Spare Change News report):

That's Gotta Hurt
First, they're reduced to giving the paper away to compete with the Metro, itself best described as an advertising circular.
Now they're out-reported by the free homeless weekly Spare Change.
I express my sympathies to the many good newspaper people working at the Boston Herald - it's not their fault.
With ya on everything but the "free" part
Spare Change News costs a dollar. Vendors buy it for 25 cents and sell it for a dollar. Selling for more or less than a dollar violates the vending policy.

not what i meant
Spare Change costs a dollar (which is why I never, ever, ever buy it).
I mean the Herald is free.
