'America Now: City of Heartbreak and Hope' special on Detroit
Andrew Norton
The Dateline special, "America Now: City of Heartbreak and Hope," airs April 18 at 7pm on NBC. NBC reporter, Chris Hansen, is a former Detroit area resident and is the reporter for the special. At least he has a personal interest in the story unlike a lot of the national media that swoop into Detroit to do their piece on the once-great American city's decay. Like the recent BBC documentary, "Requiem For Detroit," the Dateline special shows the bad, but also focuses on the good that is being done in Detroit. Hopefully, we will begin seeing more of the positives happening in Detroit as more and more positive change takes place.
