Media Critique

http://www.cnn.com/2015/09/15/entertainment/star-trek-arrest-jennifer-lien-feat/?iid=ob_article_topstories_pool&iref=obnetwork

The article was written today and is about how Star Trek star, Jennifer Lien, was arrested on October 3rd for public indecentcy. It was very repetitive and not informative in any way. the reporter told us that she caused disturbance by yelling obscure comments at her neighbor and stripping.
The pictures told the story more than the reporter, Henry Hanks, did. The article did not possess forum because it did not supply a steady stream of hgh quality journalism and did not make the important intersting. The topic of the article is not important information in and of itself because it won't affect the community as a whole for a long period of time. It was not relevant to other any other current events either.

  1. Your best critique here is that the article is not newsworthy, and that CNN made the important interesting instead of vice versa. There's no lack of a public forum at CNN.
