When
I went on WAVE3's website, out of the website's top three stories, one caught
my eye, it was the story about a shooting close to Churchill Downs, and this
story was about two men that died in a shooting. Newsworthiness is whether or
not a story will have a direct impact on a wide audience, which, out of the top
four stories, none of the stories is newsworthy. This story was put on the home
page, not because the story was newsworthy, it was put there because citizens
love to read about crimes and because it took place so close to a well-known
Louisville place, the story has more interest to the public. However, this
story is not newsworthy because the story does not affect many people, and it doesn’t
have a lasting effect. This story was published because people tend to enjoy
stories about crime and the story was made to be a story that made the
interesting important, because the people that listen to WAVE3 love to hear
about crime. This story is at http://www.wave3.com/story/30341207/two-men-shot-near-churchill-downs-one-dead-at-scene-other-dies-at-hospital
