In "Gentrification in East Harlem" youth producer Evan talks to residents of his neighborhood about a personal, difficult subject that is affecting his community.

Evan's technique and questions are very professional. The lack of leading questions means the word "gentrification" doesn't even enter the conversation in many of his interviews.

As with any vox pop, however, the quality of the piece depends on the quality of the interview subjects. In this case, two say nearly the same thing, and one seems decidedly bored. While Evan does the best with what he has, this piece would be stronger with a wider range of opinions and experiences. In this case, it seems opinions from politicians, community leaders, real estate investors, and the gentry who are moving in should be easy to come by.

This piece doesn't show the whole story, but it is does a good job of revealing what some residents are thinking.
