Of course, some people think the mainstream media is not doing a great job
of even covering the conventional local, national and international topics.
There are some problems in the operation and ownership of our newspapers,
local TV stations, national broadcast and cable network TV, local radio
stations and radio networks. Yet, they still provide a wide range of
information that we can analyze and interpret.
The Web, of course, is a mixed bag of useful and questionable information.
If we use reasonable judgment about online sources, the internet can also be
valuable.
Whether getting news and information about conventional topics or those that
are somewhat unconventional, we can find this value in the media platforms
available to us. They are not perfect, but there are many dedicated
professionals who are striving to improve them and halt any dangerous
deterioration of them.
UFOs and interesting unusual phenomena should be covered by the media in the
same way that public health and safety, governmental topics, science news or
any other subject is reported on.
In the recent Stephenville case, we have seen more professional, complete
and serious news media coverage of just such an unusual group of incidents.
There is every reason to believe that this professionalism in our local,
regional, national and international media will continue.
