As the creator, publisher and editor of The Sprawl, Jeremy Klaszus has been heralded for his bravery in forging his own path. With The Sprawl, he’s developed a reader-supported local news outlet to prioritize the kinds of in-depth stories that he felt, as both a journalist and reader, were missing from traditional publications. While Klaszus’ vision as a publisher is something to celebrate, his strength as an editor is the magic ingredient in The Sprawl’s success.
