Media Critique

Watching WLKY I've realized that they often do to many crime stories. After doing ten nights of watching it and recording the data they had around 53% of their stories to be crime. But there stories weren't exactly newsworthy crime stories. They often ignored the principle of making the important interesting. The crime rates in Louisville have increased but not every crime that happens is newsworthy. Such as a shooting that is only relevant in one neighborhood does not affect everyone in Louisville, unless the culprit hasn't been caught and causes immediate danger.
