In class we are assigned different tv news sources or the Courier-Journal to judge on what they talk about during their airtime. The first time I watched it- 9/27/15- gave me a real insight on what to expect in future showings of WDRB. For this episode their was 14 stories and seven of them were just on accidents, disasters, and crime. Out of the nine stories that were online, four of them were in those three category's also. While watching WDRB they did have two politics and government stories thankfully, with the 2016 election coming around and all, but only one online.
Since the second part of this assignment is to share the data and gather other data from other news stations, I was happy to realize that we had the second highest new stories all added up, second from Courier-Journal. This information gave me some hope on an interesting expirence of waching the news- something I would never do without it being a grade- but was very disappointed. When those earlier mentioned topics- accidents, disasters, crime- were all they ever talk about and those three government and politic stories were practically the only ones they did on the subject, i quickly realized that this is going to be a long and boring project.
