Coverage of Mingo County Murder

Both WSAZ and the Associated Press covered the story of the murder that happened in Mingo County earlier this week.

WSAZ had a very weak print story of the murder, and it was very easy to see that it was not a true print journalist that wrote the story for the website. They needed a better lead and also need to focus on sticking to the important facts rather than giving insignificant details.

The AP story was much more concise and stuck to the facts. The lead was short and to the point and the story focused on important details.
