All News Is Local, All Homicides More So

Jill Leovy drops FBLA a note to pimp the following:

“Starting today, the Los Angeles Times begins a new effort to report all Los Angeles County homicides weekly. L.A. County is one of the nation’s most violent locales, and in a typical year the paper covers fewer than 10% of all homicides. Now, though, we will report all of them.”

All of them? Not just the pretty, young, white, female ones? It’s an interesting experiment, but a damn grim one.
