Creating fear. Selling newspapers.
The headline two days ago in my local paper, The Record, was:
Region on Nuke Waste List
Yesterday, on page B6 of the Local section, was a article stating that no decision had been made yet.
And today the editorial said that just because the region was on a list didn't mean anything would actually happen with nuclear waste in the region.
So essentially, even though the paper knew that there was no real issue, they chose to hype a headline to create some fear and reaction, and to sell some newspapers.
Was one headline really worth losing credibility over?
