Response to Camille's Blog

Recently, Camille posted an article about an article from WDRB. The article was about a bus crash that had occurred that day. In Camille's opinion the article should never have been posted. I agree with Camille in this opinion. The article never stated a purpose and didn't even tell the reason for the crash. There was only two people on the bus, one boy and the driver, and neither was injured. She had a good interpretation of the article in this sense.

Although I agree with her opinions that were stated, she never said anything about the principles or yardsticks. She also didn't go into depth about what was missing from the article in order to make it newsworthy. I think she should have included the fact that the article was unnecessary fluff that needed to be changed to include more facts, pertinence to the people, or be deleted altogether. If she had done any of these things, I think that her critique would have been perfect and very true.

Here is a link to her article:
