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. They
place local television news in its theoretical and historical
contexts, and consider it through the lens of legal, ethical,
racial, aging, and technological concerns.
In its comprehensive examination of how local television newsrooms
around the country address coverage of crime, this compelling work
discusses such controversial issues as the use of crime coverage to
build ratings, and considers new models for reform of local TV
newscasts. The volume includes national survey data from news
managers and content analyses from late night newscasts in a range
of markets, and integrates the theory and practice of local
television news into the discussion. Lipschultz and Hilt also
project the future of local television news and predict the impact
of social and technological changes on news.
As a provocative look at the factors and forces shaping local news
and crime coverage, "Crime and Local Television News" makes an
important contribution to the discussions taking place in broadcast
journalism, mass communication, media and society, and theory and
research courses. It will also interest all who consider the impact
of local news content and coverage.
