Response to "Jeffersonville Police say man confessed to killing his father"

After watching WDRB for about eight days, I have discovered that there are a lot of crime stories. Before I started to take the Journalism 1 class, I would have considered all of it news. Now, after learning what good journalism is, I have realized that it is not. Newsworthy news stories affect a large group of people, and crime stories do not affect citizens unless the community is in some kind of danger. This news story is about the confession of the man when he said that he stomped his dad. This does not affect large masses of people. What is even worse is that there were continuations to this story talking about his current legal state. That  does not affect our community's everyday life. This is what we could consider "infotainment". It's valid information, but instead of being newsworthy, it's just entertaining.
