The Crimes of the Others”-
journalist magazine What needs to change in how journalism covers crime and the police?
this report explores the urgent question: Can journalists afford to blindly trust police sources?

and letting potential errors or biases go unchallenged.
Yes, verifying independent sources takes more effort but,
it protects the core of what journalism should be:
critical, independent, accountable.
