WLKY is an Abject Failure at Reporting Real News

According to a recent study done by Manual J&C Students in Mr. Millers class, a link to which can be found here, the local news station, WLKY, an ABC affiliate, has a startling amount of their programming devoted to unimportant stories that relate to petty local crime. According to the survey, 52% of the stories that the station ran in a one month period had to do with crime. Just let that sink in. Of the 206 an six stories they ran that month, over half of them were about petty crimes in the Louisville area. WLKY has failed badly at reporting legitimate news, and violated the Newsworthy Yardstick of Journalism.
