Courier Journal Article Critique 2

'Two Bardstown Road Buildings For Sale' is not a civic contribution or an enterprise related article. In the article, it talked about how 115 year old building are now for sale on Bardstown Road for commercial use.

The article explained that the two buildings for sale are between 10,000 and 30,000 square feet and how they are now being used to store MetroSafe communications equipment. The article also mentioned that the homes will be auctioned to commercial buyers and then put into use for whatever the buyers needs are.

I thought that this article was only reaching out to commercial home buyers. Why would I need this in the long run? I do not have millions to spend on an old creaky house. Why report on this when we are having an election in a matter of days?

The reporter of the article also never reached out to any commercial buyers and how this would affect them in the long run or what they would do with the property. This would have made the article more interesting, made it important, and made more people possibly get involved.

Overall, the article was only reaching out to a certain audience and is not newsworthy.
