You the reader, however, can make a difference in how the media presents their stories. If you do not like how one media outlet conducts it's reporting, you can go to someone else. It is called voting with your feet and the media will get the message if too many people walk away. Even the media does not want bad press. Another important tool is letters to the editor.
Nothing wakes up an editor like a lot of negative letters.
If you sit and stew silently, then the media outlet will not know how you feel about what they've reported on, and thus, nothing will be done about it. If you do not utilize your power of the vote, those in power will be less inclined to watch how they conduct themselves. John P. Araujo is a graduate student from Fort Worth.
