Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

By choosing to cover the awarding of an officer for courage in the act of duty, but not covering the beating of a homeless person, the news team is defining social value and ideas of deviance. They are indirectly suggesting that acts of bravery by law enforcement are more worthy of coverage and recognition than acts of violence or mistreatment against marginalized individuals such as the homeless. This reinforces societal norms and values that prioritize authority and power over compassion and social justice.
