I chose the story entitled “FBI Continues Digging Suspected Mob Grave”
- The news values presented in this story include an unusual event (crime) and timeliness (the story has been developing over time and this is a break in the story).
- Who- Richard Joseph Beedle Sr., Federal Agents, State Police, Salvatore “Butch” D’Aquila Jr. What- grave found behind Beedle’s home When-Friday Where- New York Why-A crime was committed and the police and FBI were trying to solve it. How- by investigating
- The major types of sources are people, records, and personal observations. In this story, a person, U.S. Attourney Stanley A. Twardy Jr., was the primary source in the story.
- Twardy was the only specific source in the story. A reporter could have interviewed Twardy to obtained the information presented in the story.
- One party of the story that may not be accurate is the number of people found in the grave. Also, it is not specifically started how the people died. I would want the reporter to get an exact number of people that were found in the grave and how they were connected to the suspect.
