I 99.9 percent agree with what Liz said about how a grizzly bear attack isn't as effective on the population. And I also agree with the fact that news articles can have deeper meanings like I was told by Wesal and passed on to Evie.
Though to be a little fair, the Courier-Journal posts a lot of things. Of course, every now and then there will be a pointless article about something like a person being killed by a grizzly bear. Which isn't all that shocking, you should run away if you're even near a grizzly bear anyway.
The reason, as we learned in class, why these articles appear is because, in most cases, there isn't any more 'important' news or 'newsworthiness' to post or write about. Journalists will have a week where they'll be scraping the bottom of the barrel for some fill-in article.
Now I'm not saying that this article isn't important or is important, but merely a fill-in article. Once I read a story about a kid who called 911 because he wanted to arrest the Grinch before he stole Christmas, and that was from WHAS news website.
So Liz isn't wrong at all, though there are other reasons why articles like this can be posted. Sometimes they're just fill-ins and sometimes they're really important. Though the most important thing is to never underestimate an article even if it isn't relevant to you. Journalists try to make livings too.
