Crime One of the best things about writing Slate’s crime blog has been the opportunity to become familiar with the work of North America’s best crime reporters. There are a lot of great ones out there working the crime beat, and I asked a few to name their favorite stories of 2013. Here are their responses: Doug Brown, Cleveland Scene. Nationally, the best crime story, I think, is "Two Gunshots on a Summer Night" by Walt Bogdanich and Glenn Silber in the New York Times, about the suspicious death of the girlfriend of a sheriff's deputy in St. Justin George, Baltimore Sun. 1. 2. 3. 4. Sadie Gurman, Denver Post. Jennifer Mann, St. Overall, the Boston Globe did an amazing job with its coverage of the Boston Marathon bombings. Amanda Milkovits, Providence Journal. But as a good, old-fashioned crime story, I really loved this one: "Fear on the Family Farm," by crime reporter Jana G. David Ovalle, Miami Herald. Jana G. Joel Rubin, Los Angeles Times.
