WLKY on Crime

In journalism class the class has been assigned to watch the news and collect data to see what news topics they were covering and what topics they weren't. After collecting data the class has come to a conclusion. WLKY talks about crime way to much and is not including a variety of different categories. Over 40% of WLKY'S news is just stories on crime so on average eight stories a day is just on crime. A half an hour show only covers about ten to fifteen stories a day on actually news. That means that if eight stories are on crime only four or five is on other topics. This is not showing enough variety of stories which could result in a loss viewers.
