The Chicago Tribune today published commentary by Peter R. Orszag of Bloomberg View – “What’s killing low-income Americans.”
A Pensacola photo – by Spencer Platt, Getty Images – was used to illustrate the viewpoint. The caption: “Laundry hangs to dry in a struggling neighborhood in Pensacola on Dec. 4, 2016 in Pensacola, Fla.” It looks like it was taken at one of the City of Pensacola’s housing project.
This is the next article on poverty that I’ve read in the past four days that used a Pensacola photo.
The other was in Parent Herald – US Politicians Ignoring Poverty? Why Child Poverty In America Is A Growing Concern. The caption: “An abandoned home sits in a lot in a struggling neighborhood in Pensacola on December 4, 2016 in Pensacola, Florida. Pensacola, along with much of the Panhandle regions along the Gulf Coast, has a high rate of poverty. An estimated ten million Gulf Coast residents currently live below the US poverty line, with Mississippi topping the list of all states. (Photo : Photo by Spencer Platt/Getty Images)”
