Wave 3 Southern Drawl Article

The WAVE website contains this article (http://www.wave3.com/story/23970405/well-shut-my-mouth-southern-drawl-voted-most-attractive) about a recent survey of which accent people find most attractive. This story does not abide by the first yardstick of newsworthiness which states that news stories need to have a "direct and lasting impact on a wide audience." The story WAVE has reported on does not have a direct and lasting impact on people. The fact that a survey showed a southern drawl  was the most attractive does not need to be reported on. People can give their opinion on the survey yes, but it doesn't impact anyone. WAVE needs to stick to reporting on other more important topics and news stories. If they could have changed the story to show an impact on people then it would have been fine, but they didn't.
