Just before Halloween, Liz made a comment about the body bag murder that happened in Indiana as a non-newsworthy. I can both agree and disagree, for mostly one Reason: Just because something is in the adjacent state doesn't mean it isn't newsworthy.
Indiana and Kentucky are literally right next to each other and some of the closest counties are considered part of Kentucky's county. That's a little of the reason why we have a Kentuckiana.
Though there's another reason why I'm making this post is because she mentioned in her blog , "there is not a clear goal of telling people about the crime, it does not impact a lot of people for a long time, and the article only has quotes from the police, no witnesses, family members, or anybody else, making it one-sided." This, however, is true for WHAS, but NOT WLKY. WLKY got coverage on the victim's mother and had a whole interview of her side of the story, and how shocked she was of how her son died.
Not to say this isn't a fake blog post or just that Liz is WHAS hater, though it's just saying that you need to be mindful on what you label as newsworthy and non-newsworthy because there's always another side to the stories we see.
