“The centerpiece of 'Law and Order' is the crime, and it starts with the writing. There's a beginning, a middle and an end.

Consequently, children are one of the most neglected segments of society in the news, except as a subtopic of other power beats such as education, family, and crime. Children are in serious trouble in this society, which means the foundation of our society is in trouble, which means the future is in trouble, and that is news.” MeanChildrenWatchesTroubleCrimeTelevisionSeriousTaxesNewsBeatsVoteInstitutionsFoundationNewspapersOur SocietyNeglectedNo MoneyThis Society Author:Joan Konner
