The SHADOW is New
York's only underground newspaper, publishing
on the Lower East Side of Manhattan since
March of 1989, as a result of distorted
mainstream media coverage in the aftermath of
the infamous police riot in Tompkins Square
Park on August 6-7, 1988. Our specialty is
investigative journalism and in-depth
reportage on important subjects that the
mainstream media either under-reports,
mis-reports and/or chooses to ignore.
