WLKY Only has 4% of all Celbrity Stories

   WLKY did a really good job of limiting celebrity news. While news outlets like WHAS and The Courier Journal had over 100 stories and made up almost 35% of the category each, WLKY only had 12 celebrity stories. Since they had so few, they only made up 3.8% of the celebrity news category. This is about 7% less than WDRB, who had the penultimate amount of celebrity news at exactly 11%.
   Although WLKY did not have as much celebrity news as other news outlets, they also did not have newsworthy crime stories. (More Info Here) I feel like all news organizations should strive to make significant articles for their viewers rather than cater to the viewers desire to be entertained.
