My background is similar to yours. I'm a reporter for The Vindicator now. However, I double-majored in anthropology, in addition to journalism. One of my last college courses was reflexive anthropology. Trickster would have been perfect for that class. I found that reflexivity is really important in both journalism and anthropology. Why am I telling the story this way instead of another? Who is included? Who is excluded? Am I being accurate and fair? What in my personal experience has influenced how I view this situation? This book helped me a lot with that.
It's hard to put into words what Youngstown does to a person. You're entirely right when you say it always affects people.
