Hi Jimmy, We think that by engaging with the community, we can do a better job of finding out the what, when, where, who and why - and also making sure that our coverage is relevant to our audience. To be fair, both ABC News Online and ABC News 24 do feature happy stories, science, technology and arts. In terms of historical and geographical trivia, not all our audience would consider this 'news'. But where the news agenda intersects with those areas, we try to broaden our scope to accommodate this. Thanks for your feedback. Gary

Hi foadypw and Mick, Yes, I realise that The Crow predates the emo subculture. I wasn't trying to suggest that emos created The Crow. Thanks, Gary
