Analysis of a News Source 6.2

Analysis of a News Source 6.2
 
Basics: 10pm on Friday March. 1st, KARE 11

 
Story 1: 17 Year Old in Custody for Murder
Story 2: Tipline Out In Trevino Murder Case
Story 3: Forced Budget Cuts Expected at Midnight

 

Newsworthiness:
1.Timing: Within the last week the women went missing and her husband was arrested for being accused for the murder.
2. Significance: They don’t know for sure if the husband murdered her or if she just went missing. Even if she was murdered they still don’t know if it was the husband who killed her.
3. Proximity: It happened in Minnesota and there could be a murder around.
4. Prominence: The family really just wants to know if she is missing or if she is dead. They don’t know how to cope with the situation because they don’t know what they are dealing with.
5. Human interest: I think it is an interesting story because the body can’t be found anywhere. I think a lot of people would be interested in this story because the family would be helped out a lot if they found her or saw the husband anywhere.
6 . Oddity/Uniqueness: This story is unique because there aren’t a lot of times where the police can’t find a body.
