WKU news

Based on what I have read, WKU news tends to favor stories that deal with issues or events that strongly relate to the university or the state of Kentucky and the city of Bowling Green. Most of the stories I found were a mix of “soft news” and “hard news” such as how there were stories about casual events, a long-range forecast that bodes well for “white squirrel weather” and Subway at Bates is in the top 25 of Subway’s national in the Win Like a Boss incentive promotion. Some “hard stories”, however, included increased woes regarding the decline of WKU’s budget due to a decreased enrollment and this concerning story also appeared in the local Bowling Green newspaper.

I think that WKU news covers a wide array of stories over the entire local area, not just events regarding campus activities. The press releases certainly seem to me like they’re being done at an adequate rate with the team’s current staff as there no major news stories going on the they missed, or at least that I know of. The current relationship between public relations and WKU journalism is a good one as of now. The news team didn’t put focus on any absurd stories and certainly not without putting the proper attention on “hard news” stories that the public needs to know; especially young students such as myself who are new to the community of WKU and Bowling Green.
