Which of these stories will lead off that evening’s newscast and why?
a) The armed robbery story, because violent crime affects the most people in the community.
b) The white underwear story, because it provides people with important information to help them protect their health.
c) The Governor’s speech, because it is required by law.
d) The restaurant owners arrest, because people want to know if the restaurant will still be open.
e) They will be broadcast according to the chronological order in which the four events occurred that day.
