My parents are subscribed to the Courier, and almost every day I'm surprised when all I see on the front page is a colossal photograph along with two or three stories. Like Morgan said, it may be due to the fact that the Courier's funding is almost nonexistent, but that doesn't excuse making one photo take up almost half the front page. Newspapers should have news, not photos.

Like WHAS, WDRB has also been focusing way too much on the David Camm trial. There was almost always a story about it on the 6 o'clock evening news. I agree with Desha; it's completely irrelevant, especially thirteen years after the murder took place. Hopefully we'll see the news stations start to move away from those stories since the trial is over.

I agree with Royal's view on WDRB's coverage of international stories, but I also feel like they could do a lot more. At the most, WDRB spends about five or six seconds on a single international story, which is nowhere near enough time to get the big picture. However, hats off to them for at least making an attempt, unlike most of the other TV news stations.

Like Camille, I was assigned WDRB, and I agree with what she said. Their stories are never longer than a minute or two, and they never go in-depth. Instead of reporting on around fifteen stories every show and having each one last a minute, maybe they could report on ten stories so they could include more details.

What Kelsey wrote didn't leave me angry, just...confused. I agree with her; that story was completely unnecessary, not only because of its lack of local relevance, but also because of the fact that there were two other stories written about the event. Sure, the story was interesting, but will it effect any of our lives? Of course not! The story was nothing more than useless filler, and I'm still confused as to why WDRB even bothered.

I completely agreed with Brigid's opinion on how the internet has affected all forms of media... and how digital crime has become a big issue. I really hope that other mediums find a way to make a comeback, because it would be a shame if books or newspapers ceased to exist in 10-20 years. I also think that digital crime should be punished more harshly. Like Mr. Miller said in class, if someone got a gun, robbed a bank, didn't shoot anyone, and only got $20,000, they'd be put in prison for decades. However, if someone hacked a bank account online and took millions of dollars, they'd only be put in prison for several years.
