Oregon Media Insiders

again, this is a different thread topic. But I'll answer.
I couldn't agree more. However, there is some justification for some crime coverage. When there is a large incident with lots of cops, traffic diversions, etc, people want to know. They start calling us...hey there are alot of police in our neightborhood...what's going on? And believe it or not, there is a heck of a lot we don't cover. And people call and ask why not this crime. And sometimes, I even see crime coverage (very poor and full of misinformation and rumor) on Portland Indy media (bus crash on division, and the dragnet at Trader's Joe recently for a fellow who discharged a gun at an officer to name two)even while criticizing the media for covering too much crime.
But I'd love to do more substantive things.
Call the news directors and gm's. They are the only ones who can make the change.
Bottom line, you care if it's around you and your neighborhood.
