Crime & The Media 7

Answer both questions in a single post.

1. Write an essay about why bad news about corrections is more newsworthy than good news and what, if anything, correctional personnel  can do to significantly change the public image of corrections. Discuss who is most responsible for the content and nature of news about corrections - correctional administrators, journalists, news agency administrators, or the public?

2. Similar to the differences pointed out in Chapter 4 between media and street police, list differences between media correction officers and real correctional officers.
