EL227: Best Practices. Finished Up!
(40) "Readers increasingly
are aware that something is wrong with the way
the press is reporting crime and violence."
Just reporting the few will tune in an audience. When one adds statistics, then one is putting a math and science take on the story. I feel that people watch the news or read the newspaper to get a story that interests them, whether it is full or not, not to figure out a statistic (ex) 12 children were shot in a church on Sunday, but 2 children are strangled daily by their parents for not going to church on Sundays. Who cares, the story I want to watch on the tube is about the children who were shot in the church.
