News Response: Expectations

Growing up, my family would watch WHAS in the morning before they went to work and at night before dinner. Because of this, the slogan " 11@11" was stuck in  the back of my head while choosing our news groups to examine. I was the first of my class to pick and I decided to go with the most familiar thinking it was also the best. I was horribly wrong. The first night of tuning in I was thoroughly disappointed. Now that I had learned what good journalism was after our yardsticks/elements lecture, I was able to notice all the problems with the news and conclude my own opinion. On September 30th, 2015, the first night we began collecting data, there were a total of six stories. This was low in comparison to WAVE with nine, WLKY with fourteen, WDRB with twenty-one, and the courier journal with twenty. I had expectations and WHAS failed to meet them.
