This report on how the press covered the schoolyard shootings in Jonesboro, Ark, is part of a multiyear examination of fairness in the news media by the Freedom Forum. The project began in 1997 with the premise that public standards for the news media are higher than ever, but some journalists may not understand that. Our examination of fairness is taking place in a number of ways with the purpose of improving understanding between the public and the press.
