    LESSON PLAN Level: Grades 10 to 12 About the Author: MediaSmarts Crime in the News Overview In this lesson students explore the commercial and ethical issues surrounding the reporting of crime in televised newscasts. They begin by discussing their attitudes toward crime, followed by the reading of a handout comparing Canadian and American crime reporting and further discussion about crime and 'the business' of television news. Students further explore how the media affect our perceptions about crime through a discussion on the media's treatment of various 'crime waves.' This lesson includes a group activity where students audit nightly newscasts based on guidelines they have established for responsible TV crime reporting. Learning Outcomes Students will: understand that the news is a form of entertainment which, like other television programs, competes for viewers appreciate the different needs of local and national news stations, and how this affects the selection of news items appreciate the challenges faced by journalists in trying to offer crime reporting that is not sensational. understand the role of crime reporting in attracting viewers understand the ways in which crime reporting affects our own perceptions of crime. Preparation and Materials A good introduction to the predominance of crime in local newscasts is the film If It Bleeds It Leads (which can be ordered online through Amazon.com).
