News4NY also covered the basketball courts story. I'm sure the NYPD public affairs office is working overtime to help improve their image. The PC actually admitted this is one reason for these efforts while being interviewed.

I don’t have an Excel spreadsheet where I’m tracking every report, but before my post I looked at stories posted on the websites of stations in the area to ground my perception in something close to reality. WPIX and WABC had the highest volume of these PR stories, while WCBS and WNBC had a lower volume. This is obviously an imperfect methodology since not every story makes it to the website. I’m not equipped to do a full media study but I think this is an interesting shift that at least merits a mention.
