Support the independent voice of Phoenix and help keep the future of New Times free.
You might not have gathered from the first three minutes of Paris' YouTube video detailing his history of homelessness and passion for ping pong that he's more than just what meets the eye. But no need to sit through the soft-lensed four minutes for him to spell it out for you -- he's a Mormon.
This campaign is a continuation of an effort started last year after the Church conducted international research related to how the Church and its members are perceived on a national level. The results came in, and the Church got a hold of a few video cameras.
Keep Phoenix New Times Free... Since we started Phoenix New Times, it has been defined as the free, independent voice of Phoenix, and we would like to keep it that way. Offering our readers free access to incisive coverage of local news, food and culture. Producing stories on everything from political scandals to the hottest new bands, with gutsy reporting, stylish writing, and staffers who've won everything from the Society of Professional Journalists' Sigma Delta Chi feature-writing award to the Casey Medal for Meritorious Journalism. But with local journalism's existence under siege and advertising revenue setbacks having a larger impact, it is important now more than ever for us to rally support behind funding our local journalism. You can help by participating in our "I Support" membership program, allowing us to keep covering Phoenix with no paywalls.
