Joe Grafton, the executive director of Somerville Local First, interviews
East Bay Express publisher Jody Colley and
Austin Chronicle editor Louis Black for a piece in
Boston's Weekly Dig about the local movement across the country. Colley talks about
the campaign she organized last year that encouraged alt-weekly readers across the country to do their holiday shopping locally, and Black discusses the "symbiotic" relationship the
Chronicle has with the local business community. Grafton has posted fuller interview clips of both of them on
his Shift Across America blog.
