We all know that the media spin issues to make headlines. Realizing that folks love gossip and drama, they fill newspapers, television, and radio with negativity and the public soaks it up like a thirsty sponge. Even though people know this, we buy the papers, listen to the news, and discuss the issues the next day.
With all this being said, I am surprised and delighted when I hear of the media using their influence for good. In April 2005, a Detroit News investigation found communication lapses between prosecutors, courts and the State of Michigan. This breakdown resulted in some teachers convicted of sexual misconduct remaining certified. To make matters worse, the state's officials learned about these offenders through the media. How embarassing!
