Local television newscasts around the country look alike and are filled with crime, accidents, and disasters. Interviews with more than 2,000 TV journalists around the country demonstrate that news looks this way because of the ingrained belief that 'eye-ball grabbers' are the only way to build an audience. This book contradicts the conventional wisdom using empirical evidence drawn from a five-year content analysis of local news in more than 154 stations in 50 markets around the country. The book shows that 'how' a story is reported is more important for building ratings than what the story is about. Local TV does not have to 'bleed to lead'. Instead local journalists can succeed by putting in the effort to get good stories, finding and balancing sources, seeking out experts, and making stories relevant to the local audience.

This volume offers an analysis of crime coverage on local television, exploring the nature of local television news and the ongoing appeal of crime stories. Drawing on the perspectives of media studies, psychology, sociology, and criminology, authors Jeremy H. Lipschultz and Michael L. Hilt focus on live local television coverage of crime and examine its irresistibility to viewers and its impact on society's perceptions of itself.

"The objective of this book is to convince readers that the way we approach current affairs issues can be strengthened through recourse to social theory. Through a series of graphic case studies it shows how social theory can provide systematic and penetrating 'ways of seeing' current affairs issues that enable us to critically assess the quality of current affairs coverage. Each chapter focuses on a major issue in current affairs, such as the support of democratic movements against dictatorships, the question of centralised control and regulation, and the justification for non-intervention in the face of atrocitites. In each case Stones first looks at the nature of current affairs texts, whether in the form of print, radio, television, documentary or web journalism or their representation in novels, drama, art or film. He then goes on to look at the ways in which social theory can inform the way audiences interpret what they view and read, including how they think about the relationships between what they are offered by the different genres. The book serves not only to make social theory relevant for students but also teaches all of us how our understanding of current affairs can be enhanced through an engagement with sociological principles."--
