On October 13th, 2014 News Log #4 was conducted. This were I started to notice all the patterns WAVE had with its show and website. First of all, WAVE always has twenty stories online. Why? I have no idea. Each time I've looked at their top stories there is always twenty. Now you's think that these twenty stories would be evenly divided up for each available category (Accidents and Disasters, Politics and Government, Crime, War and Diplomacy, Business and Economy, Social Issues and Education, and Health and Environment, Celebrity, Fluff, and Other) but that wasn't the case. This the log where I noticed that most stories were crime stories or social issues and human interest. A lot of these stories are also local, or in their coverage area, Kentuckiana. With all the things going on around now, there were plenty of stories that they could've done that was international or even national. If I could give WAVE some future advise, I would advise them to add more variety in their stories that would probably give them a bigger viewing audience because it would appeal to everyone. I would also tell them that they should inform the viewers on international and national because these events affect them too.
Looking over these news logs, I realize that although it may not seem like it but WAVE does try to inform their viewers. But it could be done in a better way.
