Trymaine Lee's coverage of the Trayvon Martin Case

Journalist Trymaine Lee provided extensive coverage concerning the murder of Trayvon Martin. Lee was writing for the Huffington Post at the time. He now writes for MSNBC.

Lee's articles were posted frequently on Twitter and facebook, providing a range of readers with background information and new developments.

Although editorials on the case and aftermath are useful and necessary, news reports offer essential context and details of events taking place. Consequently, Lee's work constitutes one of the largest bodies of reporting on the case by a single journalist.
