Abstract
The news media, by print or electronics, influences and shapes society's attitudes; it is essential then, if not vital, that the media accurately reflect every aspect of our society - including the good, the bad, and the ugly. By keeping this nation - as well as the world - in its proper context, we can better understand - and thus better solve - the problems that envelop us, such as racism, sexism, unemployment, hazardous waste, and the consequences of a nuclear meltdown.
To help present an accurate picture of who we are and what's happening around us, the news media need input from every diverse segment of society - and not merely from that limited view of society held by many of our unenlightened publishers, editors, news supervisors, and reporters.
