Crime on the radio

I'll be doing another radio gig this afternoon -- an hour on crime with Anthony McCarthy on WEAA-Radio, 88.9 FM., from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m.

I'll be talking about crimes of the day -- from the sword killing at Hopkins to Inner Harbor crime to bars in Mount Vernon.

I look foward to hearing from you.

Hey, I have a question. As a radio host, do you have an option to air/not air certain comments by listeners? I am asking because this morning on 95.5, a listener tuned in to give his comment @ the mask murders that claimed the life of a man in PG county. Nevertheless, the caller was irate. He also alluded to the fact of the family being drug dealers (perhaps) because of the car that the owned. He went on to say that he beleive that they had some previous knowledge of what was going to happen. Even if all of this was true, where is the sympathy?? I mean, a family just lost their husband and father. That didn't sit good with me. And the host inticed the conversation.. IDK, just asking.

About Peter Hermann

Peter Hermann started covering news for The Baltimore Sun in 1990, first in Anne Arundel County and, starting in 1994, reporting on the Baltimore Police Department. In 2001, he was assigned to Jerusalem as the Baltimore Sun's Middle East correspondent. He returned in 2005 as an assistant city editor overseeing crime coverage. In 2008, Peter returned to the beat as a daily reporter and blogger. A recent BBC report featured him in a segment on the harsh realities of covering crime in Baltimore.

Coverage will focus on crime trends, problems in neighborhoods in the city and elsewhere, profiles of victims and police officers and try to offer readers a fresh perspective on one of the most vexing issues facing Baltimore and its future.

Contributing to this blog is Justin Fenton, who joined The Sun in 2005 and has covered the Baltimore City Police Department and the criminal justice system since 2008. His work includes an investigation into Cal Ripken Jr.’s minor league baseball stadium deal with his hometown of Aberdeen, a three-part series chronicling a ruthless con woman, coverage of the killing of five Amish children at a schoolhouse in Nickel Mines, Pa., and a job swap with a British crime reporter to explore differences in crime-fighting. A special report looking into how city police handle rape cases led to sweeping reforms that changed the way sexual assaults are investigated in Baltimore. He was recognized as the best reporter in Baltimore by the City Paper in 2010 and by Baltimore Magazine in 2011.
