CT1 Media's ongoing coverage of domestic violence continued this week with the recent murder in Wolcott. The “Battered Lives” series is a great example of how we utilize the strengths of all of our platforms to report on these tragedies. Documents on this domestic violence homicide gathered by Courant Reporter David Owens outlined the bloody trail police used to charge the suspect and were central to our cross media reporting. Narmeen Choudhury used this key information in her on-air report, pushing viewers to the documents online. A frame grab from the arraignment was also used in the print portion of the report.
