Response to Wave 3 News 10/11

On October 11, Wave 3 News ran a story about how shots might have been fired at a festival in New Albany, but it might have just been a firework. This story is highly unnecessary, especially because nothing was confirmed. They don't even know if shots really were fired. Something that might have happened is not newsworthy, and it's not a good story. Even if shots really were fired, it still wouldn't be a very important story, because it doesn't have a long lasting impact on people. Wave 3 wasted an opportunity to share important news, so that they could share a story on something that might have not even happened. That is not good journalism, and it doesn't adhere to the yardstick of newsworthiness.
