On October 23rd, WHAS posted a story explaining different ways to get involved in pumpkin carving in Louisville. The article opens by explaining how to carve and what materials are needed to do so. The article goes on to show different designs both just regular Halloween themes and designs specific to Louisville, like the skyline. While this article is truthful, entertaining, and helpful, it is not newsworthy and definitely shouldn't have been on the leading page of their website. While Halloween is a holiday most people in America enjoy and celebrate, many do not; and it only applies to the month of October. It was also not something that people had to know, it was just something they thought people might want to know. The front page of a news website should be reserved for things that matter more. Although, because it was on a website and not on the news show, it's not completely unacceptable that there be entertainment stories however, there should be a separate section for them.
