Los Angeles, CA
I'm a fan of the LA Weekly. There's a certain grim absurdity to its pages that has always appealed to me. Breast enlargement and vaginal reconstruction ads sit alongside articles on remembering the Jonestown massacre, the Grim Sleeper and the dying off of L.A.'s newsstands. Escort services thinly disguised as personal ads sit among fiction from some of L.A.'s top talent.
Last week they launched the blog Murder Was The Case, by the very talented Christine Pelisek with the ambitious goal of documenting every homicide in the City of Los Angeles.
To date this year we've had 118.
Unlike the L.A. Times' Homicide Report it looks like they're shooting for real time. Someone gets murdered, they'll post a story as soon as they hear about it.
Ambitious. We get a lot of dead people out here.
Best of luck Ms Pelisek. Lot of potential here. This is one I'll definitely be paying attention to.
