Interest in modeling contemporary crime trends, a task that has historically been considered valuable to the public, researchers, and policymakers, is resurging. Advancements in criminology have made it clear that understanding crime trends necessarily involves understanding trends in how likely individuals are to report crimes to the police, as well as how likely the police are to accurately record those crimes. In this paper, we use dynamic linear models to simultaneously model the time series for several crime types in order to gain insight into trends in crime and crime reporting. We analyze crime data from Chicago spanning 2007 through 2016 and show how correlations in the way crime trends evolve may contain information about drivers of crime and crime reporting. We provide evidence of substantial differences in the relationships between the trends of crimes of different types depending on whether crimes are violent or nonviolent and whether or not crimes are tracked in the FBI’s Uniform Crime Report.

REPORTERS & reporting ,NEWSPAPERS ,MASS media ,JOURNALISM - Abstract
Two main theoretical concepts to interrogate news content were adopted in this study. The Frankfurt School concepts of ideology (and in particular Althusser's concept ideological state apparatus) and the British Cultural Studies concept, moral panic, help document how 2 examples of print media covered a local encounter between young Black men and the police in one community. By reconceptualizing the press as an ideological state apparatus and using the concept moral panic, the authors include dimensions that may more forcefully illustrate links between media content and lived experience. The news concerning the death of Black Panther leader, Fred Hampton, challenged the existing status quo by bringing race and class issues to the forefront. The Black press (Chicago Daily Defender) provided an alternative understanding to the one offered by the general press (Chicago Tribune). Evidence is offered for how and under what circumstances the discourse of journalism professional values and norms suppress or obscure minority voices. Incorporating the concept moral panic provides a tool for explaining the distinctive narratives offered by the 2 Chicago newspapers. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

NEWSPAPERS ,PUBLIC relations ,MASS media - Abstract
This longitudinal study of a long-term a public relations campaign over a 13-year period investigates whether it has had priming or framing effects on newspaper reporters. The "Great Cities Initiative," launched by a university in the Chicago media market, was the basis for a naturalistic quasi-experiment. The phrase "great cities" in the Chicago Tribune increased from 15 pretest occurrences to 65 during the posttest. Nevertheless, only 17 occurrences were in stories identifying the campaign source. Semantic network diversity increased. Evidence favored semantic priming over framing effects. This indicates that the public relations campaign did not result in as many articles that were consistent with campaign framing as articles that dealt with unrelated aspects of the concept "great cities." To examine longer term changes in priming effects, a series of 16-month periods from the primary post-test period forward until February 14, 2007 was analyzed for the number of stories containing "great cities." The slope of the line it shows that the initial increase in "great cities" use during the immediate post-campaign launch period continued to rise through 32 months after the launch, after which the trend is downward. The university continued its communication about the "Great Cities Initiative" throughout this period and continues to do so. ..PAT.-Unpublished Manuscript [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this study was: (1) to assess the impact of an incident of racial profiling on residents' attitudes about profiling; and (2) to examine the effects of exposure to a video clip of deliberation about the incident on residents' beliefs about the causes of profiling. All residents, White and minority, were less likely to believe that Chicago police officers engaged in profiling after the incident. These findings suggest that attitudes about the prevalence of racial profiling are susceptible to the manner in which the media construct incidents of police misconduct. Exposure to the video clip was not related to differences in residents' beliefs about the causes of profiling, but was related to differences in perceptions of the dangerousness of traffic stops. The findings highlight the need for more research on how media constructions of police misconduct influence attitudes about profiling and impact community-police relations. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Wright, Cullen, and Blankenship (1995) examined print media constructions of a chicken-processing plant fire that killed scores of workers. They found that newspaper coverage of the fire was reluctant to describe the event as corporate violence. We examine the generalizability of Wright et al.'s study by conducting a content analysis of newspaper coverage of two events at nightclubs in Chicago, Illinois, and Warwick, Rhode Island, that left numerous people dead and injured. We found that although newspapers did discuss the extent of personal harm caused by the disasters and the potential criminal sanctions that could be imposed, they seldom made any specific claims as to the cause of the events (i.e., whether they were due to an accident, negligence, or criminal behavior). Contrasting findings between our study and Wright et al.'s suggests that more research should be done if we are to understand media constructions of corporate and white-collar violence.

BROADCASTING industry ,TELEVISION stations ,MASS media - Abstract
This article focuses on the broadcasting market in Chicago, Illinois as of October 2005. Like rival WLS, WBBM is also planning a move. The station will break ground in November on a new broadcast facility downtown facing the Daley Center Plaza, home of the famous Chicago Picasso sculpture. WBBM expects to be moved in for Christmas 2007, leaving its longtime home near Lake Michigan. The new site will feature an 80-foot-high Jumbotron. NBC affiliate WMAQ led the snazzy-studio trend, opening the market's first street-side studio two years ago. It produces all of its morning and weekday early shows and some special programming out of the studio. WMAQ was also among the first stations in the nation to launch daily podcasts of its content.
