This is the second "data/news log" of WAVE 3 which is based off the online version seen on October 8th, 2014 (9:00 A.M) and the news "episode" on October 7th, 2014 (6:00 P.M). Since the previous one only included about two stories because of the breaking news story, this was mostly devoted to the Tornado Watch. On television there were about six local stories, zero national stories, and zero international stories. Online there were twenty-six local stories, two national stories, and zero international stories.
I still have some of the same issues as the first one, there was a good amount of local stories but there were no international stories online or on television. I think online, once again, they could have fit in more international stories because even though they aren't happening in Kentuckiana, they still affect us and are newsworthy to tell us. They did do more political stories, which is very important while we get closer in the election. Again, there wasn't a lot of war and diplomacy stories online but they did manage to squeeze one in on television.
I do have a problem with the top story online: Luke Bryan returning to Louisville in February. Yes, it does affect us, in a way; but I felt that another could have been a wiser choice to put up on the front of your website, bigger than all the others. They did keep a good balance on how many "just entertainment" stories they had. They did have a great number of crime stories (Ten of them) but only two in business and economy. I think that maybe next time they could include more business and economies stories because they are very important and essential information to us.
