Hiner, J. (2022, July 21). Letter from the Editor: When we cover 'public safety' rather than 'crime,' we give a more accurate picture of our communities. MLive.com.

This letter from the editor of MLive discusses the importance of shifting from crime reporting to public safety reporting, which focuses on the efforts of community members to prevent and address crime, rather than just the crimes themselves. The article argues that this approach gives a more accurate and complete picture of the community and can help to build trust between journalists and the communities they cover.
