The past few weeks we have been analyzing news sources and tallying up how many local, national, and international stories there are. We also tally what each article is about. I am in the Courier Journal group.
I have noticed that a lot of the Courier Journal stories are about local events. There is a lot of coverage of things about social issues in education. There is also a number of national stories about health or things about crime or sports. The international news follows the conflicts in the Middle East which a lot of other news sources are covering.
I also noticed that there is not a lot of political coverage. Yes, there are a few articles about who is running and polls about who would vote for which president if they had to vote tomorrow, but it does not go into detail. I think that there should be more coverage of the upcoming election here in Kentucky that will be happening in early November, or the presidential election next year.
I think that the Courier Journal is newsworthy, but thy are not covering all of the news stories that they could be to make them more successful.
