Response to Kathryn Minor J1

While I agree with the statement that WLKY did a good job of limiting celebrity news, I feel that their crime stories were newsworthy. The crimes featured would impact those affected for a long time. For viewers living in the area where the accident took place, hearing about the crimes committed will inform them of important things happening around them. This follows the yardstick of local relevance.

While this is something news organizations should do, I feel that the crime stories shown weren't shown as a form of entertainment. It was not clear why WLKY was showing so many crime stories taking place in court, but I do not feel this is what the public desires.
