In between newspapers and television, magazines definitely had their glory days, which I never knew. Magazines introduced multiple concepts we had never had, that we still use today. For example, a national medium to share news. In my opinion, the most valuable thing we got from magazines was the ability to spread American culture nationwide. People were new and just getting the feel for things and establishing rules for how things would run, they needed to be able to communicate and send widespread messages. The first magazine was invented not too long before America was established so they must've played in a big role. People lived in different parts of the new land and wouldn't know what was going on or what things were being sold in different areas if it weren't for magazines. I don't know exactly how, but I believe things back then wouldn't have been the same without magazines, therefore making today somewhat different.
WHAS posted an article on their website announcing that the band KISS' final tour will make a stop at the KFC Yum! Center here in Louisville. While I'm sure there is a decent amount of people who would like to know this, it is not newsworthy. This story will not effect a lot of people for a long time and it's just celebrity fluff. The concert will come and go and people will have a good time but it isn't life changing and not everybody likes KISS. Therefore this article already is only relevant to a small amount of people, those who like the band. While those people would want to know about this, the front spread of a news website is not the place for it. By putting this story on the front page WHAS stole room for other stories that would serve much more valuable to its viewers. Click here to see article.
