Why the Sun Herald is changing how it covers crime

“We know crime stories are among the most popular content we can give our readers on our website and on social media. We have tools that allow us to see what stories readers are clicking on, and a high-profile crime story almost always shoots right to the top. And, for us, more clicks leads to more advertising revenue and more exposure for the Sun Herald. But what is good for us may not be what is good for South Mississippi. We need to re-evaluate.“
