Think Tank Study Has Bad News For WDIV and
WXYZ
Two
Detroit TV newscasts are doing a less than
stellar job, according to a study released
Wednesday. The Project for Excellence
in Journalism, a Washington, D.C., think tank
associated with Columbia University, studied
the newscasts of Channels 4 (WDIV) and 7 (WXYZ)
along with 41 other television stations in
markets ranging from Billings, Mont., to New
York, Los Angeles, Washington, D.C., and Philadelphia.
The Detroit stations covered in the study
did not do well: Channel 4's 11 p.m. newscast
earned a C from the study, while Channel 7
scored a D. Of the 43 stations studied, Detroit's
NBC and ABC affiliates ranked 29th and 35th
respectively. Nationally, eight stations received
As, eight got Bs, 15 got Cs, 10 received Ds
and two stations failed outright.
However, Teresa Tomeo, a former reporter
at Channels 7 and 50, thinks the study was
"right on target."
"This study pinpoints the problem: lack
of quality, too much crime coverage and not
enough experienced journalists on the staff,"
Tomeo says.

Tomeo, a former Channel 7 (WXYZ)
reporter who covered the tragedy, Monday's
coverage says it was too much and too little.
"I just feel that there's
so much more we could have done," said
Tomeo, now a media consultant. "... I
just don't think we (the media) have done
this whole story and this event much service
... we got more spot news, more 'we're here'
kind of coverage."
