Behind the scenes of the Homicide Report, one of the better blogs at the LA Times
Approximately 1000 murders occur in a given year in Los Angeles county, though only 10% of those have traditionally been reported on by the media. In an effort to ensure that no homicide is treated simply as a statistic the LA Times has started a daily blog which reports on every single murder victim in LA county. In this pod, VC2 producer Steve Loff follows the blog’s writer, 28-year-old reporter Ruben Vives, as he interviews families, police and witnesses.
