I haven't watched WLKY since the project was over, so I thought that I'd go check the website and see what the local news page looked like. What I found was a fairly even mix of relevant and irrelevant stories. The first story was about an investigation WLKY did on social networks. This, I think, is very newsworthy because in this day and age everyone is on social media, be it Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, or something less popular. However, the next few stories were somewhat small crime stories (a child molestation and a follow up on the baby found in the Kohl's bathroom), which are only there, in my opinion, because the population seems to have a sick fascination with crime stories. These two slots should be taken up by something more newsworthy.
