Media Critique: USA Today? In What Way

Going through the Courier Journal leads to an expectation of important and trustworthy news. Although, flipping through it you would never expect to see an article titled, "Kate's pregnant again, and again struggling with morning sickness". Finding this in the place that it was, brings question to whom put it there to begin with. The article that addresses Princess Kate's morning sickness was in the USA today section of the widely read and known Courier Journal.

Thinking of where this article is it clearly looks over one of the seven yardsticks, Local Relevance. In order for an article to be Local Relevance in the USA today section it would clearly have to be in the general area of the United States of America. This article has to do with a whole different place across the Pacific Ocean. In order to fix this article's problem you should move this article to a different area of the newspaper or out of the Courier Journal in general.
