...every broadcast? I've just noticed this trend in the past couple of years..is this something new they are pushing in journalism school?
The community
To bring awareness to
To empower
This culture or that culture is "rich" in history etc. etc.
 
The "bringing awareness to" or "raising awareness" has always puzzled me. It's always about global warming or AIDS. It's never to make folks aware of celiac sprue or atrial fibrillation. It's always to make folks aware of what we're hearing once on every hour, every day of every year. "I would like to raise awareness of a terrorist attack that happened September 11, 2001". Ridiculous!
