Role of city magazines like Houstonia

On Monday's show: After nearly 50 years in publication, the Fort Bend Star is closing down. This is the second community newspaper in recent weeks in Greater Houston to announce it was ceasing operations after The Leader ended publication in March after more than 70 years. Meanwhile, a company purchased the magazine Houstonia and laid off numerous editorial positions. We discuss these stories and what they mean for local journalism in the region.

Also this hour: We offer listeners a chance to vent about their pet peeves about life in our city.
