Kotaku - Cop called out on blaming violent games
Kotaku intern Tori Floyd posted an interesting article today about the shoe walking its way to the other foot. Typically, stories float to the top of gaming news sites about destructive and irresponsible kids blaming video games for their misdeeds. Or we see stories of lawyers, politicians, and governing authorities linking the long chain of loose connection between troubled children and the games they do (or typically don't) play.
Though this change of pace is far from new to the gaming journalism community, it is also fresh to see a standard journalist doing her job to be as objective as possible. In this instance, Daily News reporter Victoria Macchi took it upon herself to find and report studies that show a lack of correlation between real violence and violent games. Bravo, Macchi! This is something you wouldn't find on, let's say, Fox News.
