Arturo “Art” Castañares is unlike any other journalist in San Diego. This former senior Sacramento staffer turned newspaperman owns one of San Diego’s most polarizing news outlets. La Prensa San Diego’s investigative bombshells often cause the subjects of the story to run for cover, and inspire other news outlets to dig deeper. In this episode of Flack Talk, Art talks about:

• People’s suspicions when he bought La Prensa 8 years go;
• Stories La Prensa investigated and broke that pissed people off;
• How elected officials and department heads react to his stories;
• Family members involved in the Mexican Revolution and other key historical moments; and  
• Flying a single-engine airplane to 7 continents and 42 countries.
