The Poor Will Always Be With Us: Just Not On TV News

This week’s articles were interesting, but the one that stood out the most was The Poor Will Always Be With Us: Just Not On The TV News. Visibility was displayed through out this article, but i would say in a negative manner due newscasts covering TV stars rather than poverty and inequality not receiving any coverage nightly. Additionally, there was an instance where poverty did receive  rare coverage, but it was to display individual’s hardships of hurricane Katrina’s aftermath. Growing up, i was always interested in what the news had to say, but then i later realized, it’s a bunch of garbage. It’s visible in what the news stations intentions are as far as “news” is concerned. They tend to cover negative images of war, crime, and celebrities, instead of covering current poverty issues and what individuals can do to help, or even success stories that include heroic acts.
