A Response to Sarah Schmidt's Post

Sarah recently posted an entry entitled "WHAS 11 Media Critique"
 about the lack of newsworthiness in WHAS's evening news. In it she talked about how much time was devoted the the news stories in comparison to the break, sports segment and weather segment. 

This particular post caught my eye because I recently posted an entry about the lack of newsworthiness in the crime stories WLKY covers. In Sarah's post she also talks about the amount of crime stories in WHAS's evening news and how that in particular isn't newsworthy. Sarah states, "Most of the stories WHAS covered was crime...there was 41 crime (stories)."

Another thing she did well was that she was very data oriented. Her facts were relevant and to the point. Sarah did a good job at having numbers to back up her opinions.

If I had one critic, it would be that there were some obvious grammar mistakes that need to be addressed. While her message was good and interesting, it was sometimes hard to figure out what she was trying to say due to some off the grammatical mistakes.

Overall, it was a post I enjoyed reading and I would definitely suggest checking out her blog at the link in the first paragraph.
