I think if we try to shut it out and pretend it doesn't happen, we only give more power to perpetrators who thrive on fear and secrecy. <BR/><BR/>News is kind of like social work in that aspect - you surround yourself with the worst of the worst. But at the same time, you can't forget the one shining star you see on occasion, who shows you there are still good people. In the meantime, I work on treating the victims and perpetrators both, and trying to fix the problem. <BR/><BR/>I'm glad the news talks about it though, because I think it's important for people to have their eyes opened to what is going on in the world. Otherwise we all become like ostriches with our heads in the sand, ignoring reality while it rages around us...<BR/><BR/>But that could just be my social work-y perspective ;-)Karissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11054255650972257020noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-88502524548163150402009-03-02T12:22:00.000-07:002009-03-02T12:22:00.000-07:00That's one thing that I like about my station...

Not unless we feel like it really is important for the community to know and we have a good reason to believe that... otherwise, it's not making the cut.Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10081326512506237554noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-35926033312517530012009-02-27T06:32:00.000-07:002009-02-27T06:32:00.000-07:00Yesterday must have been the day for crazies as in...Yesterday must have been the day for crazies as in our city there was a man that had a standoff with the police, shot two officers (neither mortally, thank goodness) and then turned the gun on himself and committed suicide. <BR/><BR/>Something like that, the public has a need to know, but I agree with you, sometimes the ongoing others are just too much and I think it also gives the other crazies out there more ideas. <BR/><BR/>I wish we had a segment devoted to good news, not always the bad.<BR/><BR/>JMO!<BR/>JaniceJanice and Jessicahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11966955933322994438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2998392453589309507.post-76669791997317263652009-02-26T23:16:00.000-07:002009-02-26T23:16:00.000-07:00I have days like this all the time in my newsroom....I have days like this all the time in my newsroom. Today, for example, we had two standoffs, three child abuse cases and several rapes. Who know Utah could be so seedy?
