When looking through blog titles, I came across Adrienne's page and found out that she made a response to one of my posts! Thanks Adrienne! (Link to her full blog here. Check it out, it's really cool! http://agsatowrites.blogspot.com/)
When reading through, I really liked her media critique, both because of the writing, and the sheer idiocy of the article mentioned. I agree that the article is neither newsworthy, nor important, nor relevant. In short, the story cover a tiger who had a sore tooth and got surgery to fix it. Nothing more.
I do agree that this story does not deserve to be published by such a large and widespread company, but i do think that "cutesy" journalism has its time and place. There are many websites that cater to niche audiences, like gossip, or sports or fashion news sites. This article would be completely acceptable if seen on "goodnewsnetwork.org," or, "positive.news." But on the Washington Post, users should not have to wade through useless information to find the "real news." The breaking news should be the only thing covered, in my opinion, to make becoming informed as fast and as easy as possible.
In short, good work Adrienne. Your response was very thorough and I had very little to additionally contribute. I agree with your perspective entirely! This story has no place in mainstage news.
