Journalism for Dummies

     You can't teach intellectual curiosity.
                It's either there  - or it's not.
                           For example...

            Florida Violent Crime
               Population   Murder   Rape     Robbery

1974       8,248,851      1,190      2,904     22,261
1984       10,930,389    1,264      5,576     30,324    

1994       13,878,905    1,152      13,752   47,742
2004       17,516,732    946         12,427   
29,984 
2014       19,507,369    981         10,236   21,576   
Increase  136%           (18%)      252%    (3%)
              The data is easily obtained.
                                      So...
                         What is the story?

                                 And why?
