Description: Provides a demystification of the processes and values of broadcast journalism by focusing on two stories covered by WABC Eyewitness News-one concerning a murder in the Bronx, the other human interest piece about an undertaker who trains racehorses. Among the issues raised through interviews with the station staff are manipulation of story content, the economic base of decision-making and the alienation of working for a large corporation.
