Catherine Sweatt-Mueller, a 62 year old woman from Minnesota, was visiting her parents in Canada.

Sweatt-Mueller’s parents live on their family-owned island, on Rainy Lake in Ontario. The island is secluded.

Sweatt-Mueller noticed her dogs barking strangely outside. She went to check on them and only the dogs ended up returning to the cabin.

Officers got the call and arrived to find a black bear standing over her body. She was dead.

Police shot the black bear, which led to two other black bears to flee the area.

This event is rare and the body of the black bear was sent to the University of Guelph to undergo necropsy.

This article shows a few of the news values. It is unusual; one thing being that bear attacks are rare, but that it is of a woman from the United States. Another value is proximity. Again, stating that she is from the United States; people would relate because she is also a citizen and people read about other American-situated stories.

Aaron Lanier Wilson, Jr. is accused of shooting an Uber driver, Tchakounte, and his passenger, Robinson. Police found the bodies of the victims Tuesday night.

One of the specialties of getting an Uber is you can share the ride and split the price with another passenger. Wilson confessed to being the other rider and that he was high on PCP.

No connections were thought of by the police as they investigated the victims and Wilson. Wilson was arrested due to his relation with the deaths and is being charged for first and second-degree murder, as stated by the police.

This article is a good example of objectivity. The journalists got their information from the police, kept the facts straightforward and specific and even spoke to a relative of one of the victims for additional input.

President Donald Trump called out the Democratic congresswomen in a “racist” manor in one of his recent tweets. This is hard for journalist, as whether or not to put a label on him. Journalist are thought to only, “report and interview and attribute”. They are not there to judge; only to provide facts. Yet, in today’s times, it can be hard to tell if you are crossing the line or just reporting.

I agree with this article. There is no need to add in your opinion when reporting. Labels are created based on opinions and journalist are not reporting opinions. If you are working in this field; to report in the media and/or journalism, it is only meant for facts and statements. Leave it to the rest of society, not in this field, to spark up the labels.

This article did well on describing the issue, sharing the history of the issue, and providing a solid result. It is a nice reminder that journalist are meant to provide facts, not opinions.
