"On the Media"
Jill Leovy, who writes
The Homicide Report on latimes.com, says she's "very happy being a crime reporter." She tells
Brooke Gladstone: "It's something that I came to a little later in my career, and I find it to be, of all the beats I've covered, that this is the big one. This is really what makes or breaks you. To write about violence in a way that's truthful is absolutely to be up against it. ...My job as a journalist is to witness and to make seen something that I think isn't seen, and to do that you really have to get immediate; you have to follow the pain." || More "OTM"
