If you go to NBC's new Making a Difference page, you will see that the network promotes the local efforts of its affiliates around the country to cover feelgood stories of altruism and volunteerism: Good News in Your Area. This move to incorporate local news content into NBC's national feed has surfaced twice on the Nightly News itself in the form of Kuraltian--or Keillorian--human interest features by Boyd Huppert from smalltown Minnesota.
Huppert works for KARE-TV in Minneapolis. Last week he told us about Elroy Minn, population 925, receiving a surprise bequest from Loren Krueger, a pennypinching local farmer, who left an unexpected $3m to the town when he died at the age of 94. That was heartwarming enough to qualify for the Making a Difference format. Now Huppert offers a quirkier story of unintended consequences that more befits a Lake Wobegon label. Check out the bank robbery caper in Elysian Minn.
