Dear Friend,
Do you find yourself frustrated by what’s reported in the mainstream media? If so, you are
not alone. Recent studies have found that many Americans are skeptical of news organizations.
Because many of us depend on the mainstream media to deliver our news and real estate
market updates, we are often at their mercy. How can we be sure that the media is telling us
the whole story?
I’ve devoted this month’s Item of Value to examining the role that media plays in our
understanding of conditions in the current housing market. You will also find advice for
putting the mainstream media’s reporting into context. Media reports can be filled with stories that focus only on the negative by using misleading headlines or burying the positive news.
It’s easy for the media to distort today’s news for its own gain, and I want to show you how
you can avoid this!
Sincerely,
Cindy Ambuehl
