The fact that literally zero outlets ever cover crime decline as a story is a huge reason. (And before you yell at me, we do!)
Every local news show has 10 minutes roped off for crime and they find a way to fill it. Here in Baltimore where homicides have fallen off a cliff the news is covering car vandalism in Fed Hill with the same breathlessness as a mass shooting.

I stopped watching network news, and have now stopped watching local news. Indie journalism is now and the future
