WLKY Observation

Since we started the news project, I had been expecting to see lots of coverage on the elections, other politics and bigger things affecting our nation as a whole. I was WLKY at 5:30 and there have been few to no stories about the election or other politics. As a local news station, WLKY focuses highly on crime and human interest stories. One might think with elections coming up and there still being soldiers serving our nation overseas, there would be more stories about event pertaining to these things. But for WLKY, that is not the case. The more I've watched and noticed this, it really surprises me because I didn't think that because the station was local there would be any less coverage on such topics compared to national news networks.
