This story was covered on RapidCityJournal.com on November 4th.  I had actually not heard about this before I read it today. I didn’t hear about it through word of mouth, or on the news.  I think this is something that is definitely newsworthy. I can’t believe I hadn’t heard about the death of these 3 college students. What a total freak accident! Driving into a pond while stargazing on private property? That is one of the saddest things I have ever heard. I think the article does a great job of describing what happened with the information they have been provided thus far in the case. They also inform readers that the autopsy will determine if alcohol/drugs were a factor, and that they vehicle is going to be examined to see if it had malfunctioned or not. Even though this wasn’t a local story, I am glad that the RCJ covered it.

I am entirely confused about how someone could steal almost 300k and get away with it for so long! It seems to me that usually people that go to work for hospitals and pharamacys are people who are genuinely interested in helping people, and aren’t the kind of people who would lie and steal. I think this article is newsworthy because it informed the public about what was going on, and let people know the consequences of the actions. I think the RCJ does a good job of keeping readers updated about what is going on not only in Rapid City, but also informed of what is going on in the small towns throughout SD.
