Synopsis
This is an examination into the reasons why crimes and accidents earn more news coverage than development and policy issues affecting thousands of people. Containing revealing interviews with both journalists and city officials, this is a comprehensive look at how the economic motives of media owners, professional motives of journalists, and the strategies of media-wise politicians shape the news we see and hear, thereby influencing urban policy.

From the Back Cover
This book looks at how such major local issues come to be recognized and covered by the metropolitan media. Why do certain policy questions come to receive intense coverage in the local media, while others are given only passing considerations or ignored? When a new plan or proposal is announced by local officials, what factors determine whether it will be covered with cheerleading fanfare or subjected to investigative scrutiny?
