People like reading about people dying and with open comments, you could get a wealth of material for other stories and maybe possibly a book deal for a writer in the community....Possibly I should be asking The Wave and The Sun, but out of respect I thought I would ask you guys first since you guys are two of the oldest minority owned papers in Los Angeles with La Opinion being founded in 1926 by Ignacio E. Lozano followed up by the LA Sentinel in 1933 by Col Leon H. Washington and his wife Ruth Washington.
Jill Leovy's original Homicide Report went dark on Nov. 13. Yes, she did get a book deal out of it.
