Prepare a 500+ word response, supported by scholarly literature, addressing each of the following:

• You have just been hired as the news director of a local TV  station and given a 5-year, “can’t be fired for any reason” contract.  Station management has informed you that they want a more “honest”  portrayal of local crime and the justice system. Detail the steps you would take to carry out this directive. 
• These steps should be justified based upon the readings and  lectures you have been exposed to in this course. A clear understanding  of the impediments to carrying out more complete coverage must be  discussed, along with how you will overcome these.
• You might also want to search the Web for pages that discuss local  TV news stations that have attempted to change their crime coverage to  be less sensationalistic.
