1.)How does the portrayal of the recent “Meth epidemic” compare to earlier drug scares? For example, does “Reefer Madness” share similarities to the Frontline report on meth? Incorporate Weidner’s study of Midwestern newspapers in your answer.

2.)What is “infotainment?” Use television programs like “Intervention” or “To Catch a Predator” to describe the common elements of this type of programming. Why do many critics suggest this programming may be more harmful than TV dramas or film?
