The latest report from the Pew-Knight Initiative reveals that Americans are consuming local crime news frequently, which significantly impacts their perceptions of safety and community.
The Pew-Knight report reinforces that 'more Americans get news about crime than any other local topic except the weather,' highlighting the significant role of crime news.
Consumers of local TV news tend to report higher frequency of exposure to violent crime news, influencing their perceptions of crime within their communities positively.
One-third of frequent crime news consumers express high concern over safety, contrasting with only one-fifth of those consuming less crime news.
