TJ Walker shows how NYC murders dropped roughly 90% between 1990 and 2015, yet New York Times headlines about murder actually increased. Media attention and reality often move in opposite directions.

Chapters

Don't confuse increased media attention with reality. When you look at the murder rate in New York City from 1990 to 2013-15, crime rate, the murder rate went down about 90%. The headlines for murder in the New York Times went down from 126 all the way down to. No, they actually went up. They went up by a handful. More sightings. So crime going way down, media coverage going way up, and people assume, oh, crime is way up. Well, no, it's not. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
