What is exactly newsworthy? Don Imus has captured the media's attention this week which in turn has caused the news and media to neglect the Duke rape case. I think the Imus controversy deserves reflection, but I also don't think that this should be the top news story in the country. The Duke rape case would seem to me, to be more newsworthy than Imus's racially insensitive comments. The Duke boys, according to the Washington Times were facing up to the 30 years in jail and Imus was faced with losing his job. I think the media needs to do a better job deciding what is newsworthy.
