I have been following WAVE news station and this news station has many non-newsworthy stories for example the news story over, “Economy Inn to host Halloween Party” this news story lacks a lot of items in the seven basic yardsticks of journalism. There is a lack of context in this article for example the article says “Some people in the city want it shut down - claiming it's dirty and crime ridden. But the owners of the Economy Inn on Bardstown Road say they have made many changes and they are inviting the neighborhood over to trick or treat” (from the wave news website) The reason why it lacks context is because there isn’t a lot of information in this article and doesn’t explain things really well which leads me into why this article doesn’t have a lot of explanation in it. It just says come to the Economy Inn Halloween Party and explains what people have been saying about the hotel. It doesn’t explain the importance of the article and doesn’t grab the reader’s attention of why it is a good news story. There is no big picture of this article; this is basically like an ad that the news station put in the news section. Wave news station puts articles that aren’t important into their news section.
