This story is about Mike Marshall's daughter debut at the U of L game against Charlotte. This is not newsworthiness. It is celebrity story not news. Celebrities are not news. Just because Mike Marshall is a traffic reporter at WDRB does not make this newsworthiness.
Newsworthiness is Something that is relevant and important right now and in the future. To make sure your article is newsworthiness you can ask yourself one question. Does this involve/relevant to everyone? If the answer is o then that story is not newsworthiness.
This is a populist story. Because their giving the audience celebrity news not factual news. Populist is when you do something to get a higher amount of people for your audience, even though what you are saying may not be relevant. You basically do it to get more viewers.
This is okay it is just not newsworthiness to my standards. They could have filled this slot with more important and urgent news. So in my opinion this should not be on WDRB's website.
