SHORT ASSIGNMENT 1
The news site I used was CBS Local news (https://www.cbsnews.com/newyork/#). The Articles that really came out for me were:
Police seek individuals in connection to deadly bronx subway shooting

What I noticed is that the types of crimes that are being reported are crimes that relate to violent crimes. We see the news report more about shootings and stabbing than any other crimes that are done daily. Crimes are a major part of news coverage because that’s what gives them all the clicks. If the news stopped reporting these crazy crimes people wouldn’t really be interested into their clickbait and if people don’t fall for their clickbait no one would be on the website giving them some change.
