Why? What makes a crime newsworthy at the national level?
Consider the nature of the crime.
The race of the offenders.
The fact that there are child victims involved.
And the rare nature of the crime.
Finally, of course it is Meth, which has been established as a moral panic already.
So how much of a threat are Meth fires to children? How do they compare to fires caused by tobacco? In other words, where is the context?
