Title: Long-awaited change coming to Wahoo intersection

Lead: Three months after a fatal crash took the lives of three siblings, the Nebraska Department of Transportation presented a plan to slow traffic at the intersection of US-77 and Nebraska Highway 109 in Wahoo.

I really liked the way that the media source went about producing the article. The written news story source did a great job writing it as well. I think the video production of it was better than the written story on Nebraska Central newspaper. I think this because 1011 had more credible quotes I feel like. Nebraska Central had a quote from a random Wahoo resident. 1011 interviewed someone who had personal experience with the intersection which was way more credible than some random resident.

This story caught my eye because it was a big deal this summer in my town and I think both news channels did a great job of covering all of the who, what, when, where, why, and how’s.

  1. The video seems to be more personal. It goes right to the family. The video is more recent, which may explain some of the differences.
