With about 47,000 gun deaths in the US very few reach the headlines. Very few of the same race v same race read the headlines... which is by far the most commonn. Very few of Black on Jew or Black on Asian or Black on Hispanic or Black on WASP are in the headlines. Very few of White on others meet the headlines.

A few years ago I did a study of news coverage in Chicago, both paper, TV and radio. The results were very clear: If it happened between the river and the lake on the Northside it would be covered. If it was on the southside Lakefront it would sometimes be covered.

If it occurred west of the river, far from the lake, it would rarely be covered... and if it was covered... the reporter’ ignorance of the area was evident...eg using LA TV jargon to report local events.

Race was in the reports....but familiarity of the reporter with the area dominated.

Did the article mention over 50% of the violent crime is done by less than 13% of the population?
