Breaking (the) News by Mathew Hurst.
A recap of work that Matthew Hurst has done this year on news reporting and teasers about where he may be going in the coming year.
I think his coming focus on how resources for news reporting influence what is reported as news should be quite useful.
Another fruitful area for investigation would be the influence of appearance on news reporting. Even simply counting the number of unattractive people shown in crime stories versus the number of white, attractive, pre-teen females show in kidnap, missing cases would be instructive.
