Dateline Detroit
Last week, NBC broadcast an episode of its Dateline news program on Detroit. The primary focus is familiar--the vulnerable, poor yet resilient African American residents of a crumbling city with a sprinkling of artists and celebrities.
Dateline host Chris Hansen speaks with and profiles, among others, Mitch Cope and Gina Reichert, Kid Rock and Raccoon Man, Glemmie Beasley, a blues musician who shoots and eats raccoon around the city for sale and nutritional value. The local and national response is that Detroit, like Baltimore and other African American inner cities is thick in media sensations like Raccoon Man and that in an hour long special, a broader view is not only possible, but a responsibility.
Some local news responses to the special:

That was a great show on Detroit. It's been tough times but we are strong and resilient. Our great city will come back!
Very good and very nice!!
Nice topic. We can see lots of talents every where but they only seeks for an attention. Hopefully in the future they will make a realty talent show that caters poor and low life people in this case we are not just helping them but we provide new talents for the new generation.
