Wooden Box Critique
On October 27 2015, an article titled "LMPD: Man arrested for putting dead roommate in wooden box after overdose" was published onto the WDRB website by Ryan Cummings and can be seen here: http://www.wdrb.com/story/30364837/police-man-arrested-in-connection-to-case-of-body-found-in-box-in-jefferson-co-2 According to the article, Louisville police took out an arrest warrant for Derek Roark, 39, of Morehead, Kentucky. Investigators say earlier this month, he put a man's body in a box and then dumped it in southern Jefferson County off South Park Road. The victim was identified through fingerprints and was the killer's roommate. All of this is not locally relevant to anybody but the victim, the killer, and families of them, etc. It seems to be another case of attempt to make the important interesting, commonly noticed in all news stations, some more than others. Cummings does not express his own opinion and needed to balance the audience with what it wants and what it needs.
