From assigning writers and photographers to reviewing copy, Elizabeth Licata handles a wide range of tasks as editor of Buffalo Spree magazine. Recently, Licata took to reporting on the many demonstrations taking place throughout Buffalo.  "These young people are reinvigorating the spirit of activism that is needed to make big change happen," Licata said during her monthly appearance on WBFO's Press Pass. She also expanded on other stories in the magazine's July issue, including hiking in Western New York, the region's cobblestone architecture and the resurgence of the drive-in.
