My interview with David’s fellow Executive Producer on The Wire, George Pelecanos, is here. You can read my four-part interview with David here.
That journalist was David Simon, who went on to give birth to the iconic Baltimore-based Crime TV series Homicide: Life on the Streets, The Corner and The Wire. In fact, his reporting reminded me of the work of another Baltimore based journalist who covered that very same beat on those very same streets three decades ago. I found Justin’s reporting to be clarifying and insightful amid the murkiness and confusion. I first became aware of Justin’s work four years ago, as I read his reporting on a police scandal that dominated the news in Baltimore and that culminated in the shooting death of Homicide Detective Sean Suiter. On today’s Crime Story Podcast, I interview journalist Justin Fenton, who covers the crime beat for the Baltimore Sun, about his new book, We Own This City.
