Response to Wave 3 10/13

On October 13, Wave 3 news ran a story on their show about a hiker who feel ill on the trail and was later rescued. The story discussed How the woman felt stomach pains and was unable to continue hiking. A search party was sent out, and after a while they found her. While this story may be interesting to some people, it's not really important. People don't need to know that a woman was rescued from a hiking trail, only to be found later. The slot that Wave 3 used to run this story could have been used to run a story that would educate the public about an important issue, instead of just trying to fill the show. This story is not newsworthy because it hardly affects anyone, and it affects no one for an extended period of time.
