A Miami Herald article about Key West's slumping downtown shopping district sales indicated foot traffic wasn't a problem, thanks to cruise ships and tourism. However, shoppers just don't seem to be buying--which one source said could be the result of constant negative TV and print news about the economy that was bringing buyers down during their vacation: http://www.miamiherald.com/news/florida_keys/story/426999.html
It's an interesting point. Should the media consider the influence its trend stories have on local economies?
Do newspapers and TV news programs bear a responsibility toward the economy they cover, or is their role purely to comment on how that economy is doing?
