Breaking new! Adam Duvall one win away from World Series Ring!
Um, no. WDRB made this their headline ( http://www.wdrb.com/story/27052595/bozich-former-louisville-star-adam-duvall-one-win-from-world-series-ring ) on October 28 2014. I have two disagreements with this,
A. it's not newsworthy there for breaking one of the 7 yardsticks of Journalism.
B. WDRB is a local news channel, this article breaks one of the 9 Principles of Journalism, local relevance
The article goes on about how if San Francisco wins the world series Adam Duvall will be fitted for his World Series ring. This article would be perfectly fine, if it was in the sports section of the website. But this huge headline was plastered on the home page in big bold letters. This might be exciting for the average reader that enjoys the populous aspect of the news. But when a person looking for real news stumbles upon this there might be a few difficulties.
