Do the media exaggerate crime and cause people to unnecessarily live in fear? On the contrary, how does media?

coverage of crime expedite crime policy initiatives, and do Americans react too quickly to media coverage to adopt new policies, or are reactions improved because of the speed at which social issues are reported?

I don't think they exaggerate crime, quite the contrary, they don't report ALL crimes. They pick and chose which /what crimes they wish to make a story on. Sometimes it is because of political pressures and sometimes the editor just decides there's too many negative stories already. I also don't think that we re-act too quickly, as sometimes it may take months or even years to change/enact certain laws. The media is a fickle entity whose stories depend entirely on the morals/thought processes of the person responsible for the well-being/money-making enterprise of operating a business.
Reply:There is too much coverage of crime and too little of good events.





The media thinks you want to watch crime-- they've made news a scary movie so you will be entertained.





Stop watching, start writing on the internet and maybe they'll get the message.
