Currently, newspapers sprinkle short reports of violence throughout their pages. However, if newspapers covered violence as a beat in the same way they do the economy and politics, the content and placement of their reports would differ. Each article about a violent act would place the incident in perspective, explore its root causes, and link it with similar incidents to determine possible patterns indicating a need for the community to develop methods to prevent further violence. Like a sports section, a death and injury section might contain a mix of articles of different lengths. International coverage could use a similar approach. Local and national television and radio could take the same approach by moving reports of deaths and injuries to a 24-hour death and injury channel or station. In addition, newspapers and broadcast media could place more emphasis on solution-oriented reporting.
