If a news organization serves the market well, does it also serve the public well? Increased competition for viewers has caused news organizations to pursue stories about crime, celebrities, lifestyles, even paranormal phenomena at the expense of public affairs reporting on breaking events, major political figures, in short, stories that are in the public interest. Has this served to diminish journalistic credibility? Does our present, market-driven news industry enhance or diminish the public”s interest in the news? As crime rates fell throughout the 1990”s, polls consistently revealed that people believed crime was getting worse. This coincided with an increase in crime stories in the media. How does the change in emphasis from hard to soft news stories affect public discourse and political decision-making? Is hard journalism soon to be a thing of the past? † Marcel Daguerre, Philosophy Department Morris Brown, Jr., Department of Journalism Tony Graybosch, Philosophy Department All events are free and open to the public.
