Maya Malawi did a post on her blog http://mnm4jc.blogspot.com/ about the poor variety in stories. She was in a group studying WLKY and learned that around 40% of it's coverage over the ten data collections was strictly dedicated to crime. I, personally, was in a sharing group with Maya and every week it was the same joke-- How many crime stories Maya? Is the headline a murder? It was pretty pathetic how expected it was to write a large number in the crime section and how exciting it was when the headline actually mattered. Though I thought Maya's response was short, it was to the point and it was certainly true.
