Sky recently wrote an article responding to the homepage of the WDRB website. Throughout her post she expressed her opinion that they have too many stories about crime, and I definitely agree with this statement. She said that 9/23 stories on the homepage were about or related crime, also when you look through our data there is a large amount of crime stories coming from WDRB and all of the stations.
Sky then went on to talk about a particular story that caught her attention, "Louisville women reportedly hits step-father with broom handle in argument over Donald Trump". She said that this article violate the yardsticks local relevance and newsworthiness. After reading the article myself i agree with this. A woman hitting her stepfather with a broom handle does not affect other people in any way, and will not have a long-lasting effect on people's lives.
Overall I really enjoyed Sky's post, and how honest she was with her opinions on the excessive amount of crime stories in the news.
