K-Talk

Scrolling through the Wave 3 News website, I came across a story that confuses me greatly. This was a story of a couple in Kentucky who recently had a newborn child. This child was born in their minivan on the way to the hospital, and the father described the event as “catching a football.” Although an interesting, and fairly weird, story, there was no reason for me to know this story. My time could have been used to read a story about the midterm elections or any other information more important. Wave 3 should have never covered this story, and instead elaborated on another story or found a more newsworthy story. This tends to happen on most news networks, to the point we need to have a “celebrity and fluff” section on our news project page. I understand sometimes reporting celebrities, but fluff? Our news station should give us facts, and only facts that will effect our lives for a good amount of time. Wave 3 News definitely needs to work on keeping their content newsworthy.
