Do They Have a Choice? - a Response to Morgan David's Blog Entry, "Missing Girl or Missing News?"

In David's article, "Missing Girl or Missing News?," she mentions Jayme Closs (a missing girl). She talks about how when a news organization (WHAS11 in particular) runs out of relevant stories they report fluff. I agree and understand what she is saying. 

However, if there are no longer any locally relevant stories to report they may not have any other options. The best they can do is report a legitimate news story regardless of its relevance. I record notes on WHAS11 at 5:00 P.M. as well, and I can honestly agree with Morgan. Local News organizations report nothing short of fluff when they run out of stories containing relevance, but do they alway have a choice? Click here for a link to her full article.
