Although in many cases I do believe in what Evie says in this post about Local news relevance. A murder mystery in California seems like it's unnewsworthy. But I think, just like I did, Evie may have skipped over a bigger meaning.
When I went to check in Wesal El Majbri's article, which is http://wisalj1.blogspot.com/ if you want to go and check her blog out. She wrote a criticism post on my News Relevance post about how I indeed skipped over a bigger picture. Which Wesal is definitely not wrong about, but it's a good thing to know this. Because this could in some ways be relevant to the nation.
And I want to pass this on to Evie's point that this murder in California isn't relevant at all. And that she's completely correct that it doesn't affect us as a mass medium. But What Evie should think about is that, like Wesal said about mine, is you should look at the bigger picture of what this article tells you.
In conclusion, I think that Evie is not wrong about her statement, but for future reference, she should take into consideration that there's a bigger picture to a news article than meets the eye at first glance. Always make sure that there's a deeper meaning to every article.
Thank you for the feedback, Tyler! To be honest, I never thought about local relevance this way until I read this post. Your post gave me another perspective on how to look at local relevance in the news, and I got a much deeper meaning from it. This post is awesome, and I appreciate the time and effort you put into it!
