Are there different branches of crime reporting? Is there one that specifically covers homicide?

Question

I'm interested in journalism, but mysteries and crime shows have always been my thing, so I was wondering if there is a type of reporting that deals specifically with homicide. I've heard of crime reporting, but that covers things from local robberies to drug possession.

Answer 1

Get your journalism or electronic journalism degree first. When you get a job with a news station or news paper you will have to report on whatever they ask you to. Do a great job on every story.  One day you will get your chance and be given a homicide. When you blow them away with your skills you can request to get homicide preference.
