Answer:

Sporting events.

Explanation:

Portrayal of crime and justice in mass media often involves such issues as misinterpretation, taking statements out of context, favoring certain stories while ignoring others.

According to research, media prefers to cover more negative, dramatic, controversial and even graphic side of criminal activities (or any other events) simply because audience watches them more. It drives higher views and ultimately higher revenue. Meanwhile, sport events are covered in more impartial and comprehensive manner, with sufficient context provided for an accurate representation.
