Kelsey Wunderlich had a strong critique of a WDRB story about a new Oxmoor H&M store.
She was right, while the topic (a new store might be able to bring more people to Oxmoor and help the mall) might be slightly newsworthy, but the execution of the story was poor. Having a large portion of the story be devoted to the excitement of the mall customers makes the story not newsworthy.
Also, this article violates the principle of making the interesting important. While a new store might bring new customers to the mall and help people involved with Oxmoor, how excited people are about it doesn't affect our every day lives. If the excitement caused an extreme traffic delay, that would be one thing. This is no such case.
