RUIN PORN ON NPR

By VBS Staff

VBS.tv’s very own Thomas Morton appeared on NPR’s On The Media yesterday to discuss his recent investigation into media misrepresentation of Detroit’s economic devastation. The original article, Something, Something, Something Detroit, illustrates how journalists, those of the photo variety especially, distort Michigan’s ruin by intentionally cropping out signs of prosperity to paint a picture of apocalyptic oblivion in Motor City. Before I spoil the whole thing for you, head over to NPR for a listen or employ your eyeballs for a look at the original article.
