Jena 6 in national media
Witt’s coverage of Jena 6
We are discussing the Jena 6 coverage from earlier this year. The story gained steam in the African American blogosphere. I first heard about the Jena 6 case not from the blogs, but from a Chicago Tribune story about the blogs by Howard Witt. This is the article that I read about a day or two before the national media really picked up coverage on the Jena story.

What is the context that takes this beyond the “isolated” local incident? What is relevant to our readers?
Decisionmakers in the budget meetings and reporters need to look outside their fault lines and look at the stories from the perspective of all of your readers.
