What Were We Thinking?

WW Editor Mark Zusman answers your questions about our coverage.

Got a question about the future of journalism or how Willamette Week covered something, or didn't cover it? Ask away. WW Editor Mark Zusman—that's his friendly mug in the picture—will respond to as many reader questions as he can, right here!

Here's a freebie, to start you off:

Q: Dude, what's with the stogie and the dishevelment? Were you partying in the morgue again?

A: That's a still from a mockumental video we made with Adrian Chen for the Candidates Gone Wild primary event back in May. Here it is again. Enjoy!

[Important legal note: We weren't really scheming to scam the city out of $150,000. We were actually soliciting bribes to fill a vacant City Council seat.]
