Dateline NBC had a Homeless Special featuring the encampments around Venice’s 3rd Ave, Sunday, 19 August.
“A few of the people around 3rd were interviewed,” said Swinger. “I walked 3rd with Craig Melvin and showed him what we have to deal with as residents here. Also took the producer Alan Goldberg of Dateline and 60 minutes and showed him the feces contaminated pool of water location that’s right next to a playground that these camps help create.
“I thanked producer Alan Goldberg for showcasing our problems here in Venice and he said ‘citizen photo journalism’ like my site are doing a great job for our neighborhoods.”
