Response to Lily Wobbe’s response to Current Events Quizes




Lily Wobbe was very upfront about her opinions regarding our current events quizes in our Journalism 1 class. She explained how she does not agree with the choices of news sources used; NPR, WFPL, NYT, and CJ) She believes that all four news sights are liberal, and we need to research and follow conservative points of view as well. While I agree, I do not think it specially applies to this project. 

    Since this project is about following current events and not diving into opinions, the political standing of the news outlet used is not particularly important. All we need as students is to record events happening in our world. It would be almost impossible to incorporate political views into a headline of a current event. I completely understand her opinion that we need to incorporate all political views into our journalism, but for this particular project, it is not something to worry about.

Newsworthiness is a very important factor that determines the difference between good and bad journalism. Because of multiple factors, this story does not make the cut.         While this story may be relevant to the friends and family of the victims in New York, it is definitely not relevant to an audienc
