The Daily Swarm
Not long after the Sun-Times broke the story of the videotape at the center of the R. Kelly trial, reporter Jim DeRogatis had a shot fired through the front door of his Chicago home, the paper reports in a court filing. || Time Out Chicago: DeRogatis said in January: “The problem is the professional critic is not invisible. Our pictures and our real identities are out there. So yes, courage is required. And it’s even scarier to do reporting in this new world. I mean, I got shot at during the R. Kelly reporting! …Bullet. Window. My wife hates me for this, but I still insist on being listed in the phone book. I mean, we are not doing our job if we’re not accessible to people.”
