Which cities have the most depressing local news?

Asylum.com has a pretty interesting listing here. The ‘misery index’ is all about category of story:

The substance of the local evening news from the first full week of the New Year (Jan. 4-8, 2010) boiled down to the 10 categories of stories from accidents to crime to weather. Based on those categories, we created a “Misery Index,” which accounted for how depressing each category is, and the percentage of time each broadcast devoted to each category.

For example, here is how New York City (#8, tied with Washington, DC) breaks down:

The rankings after the jump:

#10 – Cleveland, OH

#8 (tie) – NYC and DC

#7 – Atlanta, GA

#6 – Chicago, IL

#5 – Denver, CO

#4 – Philadelphia, PA

#3 – Miami, FL

#2 – Los Angeles, CA

and …. number ONE – Boston, MA
