http://www.kmbc.com/article/video-woman-threatens-to-kill-everyone-on-flight-after-being-asked-to-put-out-cigarette/14413839 In this story, the reporter did a good job of getting an interview with the woman who was acting crazy which was very intriguing to watch. She didn't give very good responses, but it was still inr=teresting to watch because often times people don't get an interview with a crazy person it usually like someone that witnessed it so that was cool to watch. I think they did a good job of getting good b-roll which is also surprising for a story that happened all at once with no news team. They did a good job filming everything and putting it together. The reporter could've done a better job at making the sound work because it didn't at all when I played it at first because of the audio levels being so low. I had to turn my computer all the way up to hear it barely and then a commercial would come on and it was blaring loud so I think that the editor ...

http://www.kmbc.com/article/mother-of-two-20-dies-one-day-after-flu-diagnosis/14200779 the good things about this article is that they got interviews and used quotes in it, but it kind of just shows what is in the video. I think from reading the article and not watching the video someone would be able to understand what happened.  Something I would suggest is maybe to elaborate on the children because they're in the title of the article to grab the readers attention, but it doesn't say a lot about them. A question I was left with was how the flu killed her and they said one thing about pneumonia, but I would like to understand more about how it got to the severity or how she may have contracted a deadly case of a curable virus.  I will implement the idea of using the the scientific facts and the health alerts like the stats they used in the end of the article. They said that only 10% of this years Australian vaccine was affective so it meant that they couldn't t...

http://www.kmbc.com/article/chiefs-announce-suspension-of-marcus-peters-ahead-of-sundays-game-versus-the-raiders/14295553 This article is good because it is to the point. I think that it gave all the necessary information and was pretty specific saying what happened during the game. The article was really brief so it was kind of hard to get more information, but despite that the readers can still get the story from it which is a plus.  The story needed to have more information or at least elaborate on more of he situation and why it happened the way it did. They could've put a video in to show what Marcus Peters did, or a link or something to show what happened so people can better understand. I also think that they needed to specify more that the chiefs are suspending him, and the NFL hasn't. This is knowledge I already have so when clicking into the article it already reiterated things I knew and that was not beneficial for me.  One thing I will take from this is...

http://fox4kc.com/2017/12/08/independence-officer-shot-in-the-line-of-duty-will-return-home-after-months-at-nebraska-rehabilitation-center/ In this article, the writer does a good job at breaking up the different things that  contribute to the story. This is helpful when looking at specific details, but not always. I think it is a short story with not as much information as they could've had, but they mentioned every detail which was good. One thing that I would change is the format, while its good that there breaking it up, it looks bad because there isn't enough content to make a paragraph and it just looks like 10 broken up sentences instead of connecting the information.  They kept it short and sweet by the information they gave and the wording of things. I will take away the wording from this and try to use words that would get to the point quicker and still tell a story. This one was a little difficult to read because of the constant break in information so it woul...

http://www.cnn.com/2017/11/30/europe/donald-trump-theresa-may-twitter-spat/index.html In this story, the writer did a good job of explaining what happened and the people related to what is going on. They wrote what the issue was and described what happened in the first paragraph which was very helpful for someone who would like together the quick information from clicking on the article. one thing I would change about the is the organization piece If I'm looking for a specific detail on one part of the story, I have to red the whole thing rather than scrolling to a place where it might be shown. I think it would be helpful to split it up into sections where finding out more would be easier. I do like the way they wrote the story in the beginning they hooked the reader and I will try to implement that into my work. They started the story with the main points and that was helpful, but if I wanted to know more it wouldn't have been as easy to find quickly.

http://www.kmbc.com/article/mother-faces-felony-charge-after-using-recorder-to-thwart-school-bullies/13946697 In this story, the reporter did a good job with getting a very in depth interview with the mother and it really showed a lot of emotion and helped tie the story together. I think this is good because instead of the reporter saying everything, the mom was able to share her thoughts and feelings with the reporter as the main person involved, rather than hearing it from another person.  I think the audio for this story was a little messed up because during the interview the moms audio is on the right while the reporters audio is on the left and it is not balanced.  I think this is a good example of asking the harder questions and getting the better answers because the reporter didn't have to say as much. I will definitely keep that in mind when interviewing people over something they're passionate about.

http://www.kmbc.com/article/one-person-killed-in-workplace-incident-possible-explosion-reported-at-olathe-garmin-headquarters/13943666 In this story the reporter did a good job of getting the main points across and laying downtime basics of what occurred. She was also good with the standup location being able to show the people they were talking abut and what the scene looked like with her there too. They also got a good shot of Garmin from above that added a lot to the story. I think the reporter could've done a better job at interviewing the guy because she says it is not hazardous and then he says the exact same thing. Also, I think she could've elaborated more on what happened rather than just saying a pipe ruptured. I think she did a good job of breaking up her words and sentences to be able to tell the difference in what she was saying all by the tone of her voice and I will try to implement that into things like the raven minute when its basically just and ...

http://www.kmbc.com/article/crook-caught-on-camera-after-hitting-three-restaurants-near-crown-center/13970948 This Reporter did a good job of getting multiple interviews from people that had been affected by this criminal. The people they interviewed gave long and thorough responses which doesn't always happen but I think they did a good job at taking out the really good parts that add to the story. He also had a very good stand up in the locations of where it happened and was able to show the camera and the door which added a lot to the story.  I think the reporter could've done a better job at talking more about the criminals appearance because they said they need the viewers' help but just showed the picture once and dent really analyze it much. I will take from this story the good standup location and see how it really adds to the story and try to do something similar in future stories.

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/29/health/opioid-fentanyl-childhood-friends/index.html  video of the guy who knows he is going to die. In this story, the reporter does a good job of asking the tough questions and showing the interviews that are hard to watch. He asks good questions and the people being interviewed give good answers. I think did a good job of not making them feel like screw-ups, but he still asks the questions that are tough for them to answer. The guy openly says he is going to die from it and he is  not phased by that and the girl is okay with the thought of death due to heroin because of how poorly her life is going. The reporter does a good job of making the viewer feel emotional for the people and see how sad it is that their life has turned out that way and how tough it is to get out of the rough spot, but it also shows how bad the repercussions of doing drugs can be. I think for the technical side of the story the camera angles and stableness is a little ...

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/29/health/opioid-fentanyl-childhood-friends/index.html In this story I think the reporter did a way better written version than the video package. In the video was kind of uncomfortable to watch because they showed the wrong clips. They showed the mom of one of the kids just crying and it is uncomfortable to watch and less essential to the story because she doesn't give any information. While it shows good interviews and interview setup, there is not a lot of good questions asked and it may have been more beneficial to talk to some sort of scientist or someone who knows the impact of the drug and can give more information. If it weren't for the mom saying "...30 seconds after he sniffed it" then I would've thought it was a pill the whole time because they talk about how it starts with the pain pill opioid and then they just get addicted to them and kind of skip the whole transition into sniffing something. The audio levels were way too...

http://www.cnn.com/2017/10/09/us/las-vegas-stephen-paddock-deposition/index.html In this story, the journalist does a good job of giving a ton of details including the who, what, when, where, and how. She talks about the Shooter for the whole 3 minutes without interviews or other soundbites which is impressive because it keeps viewers interested through the b-roll and articles that were shown where they highlighted specific things on the screen. she did a good job of showing everything necessary to know about the history of the hooter and what he was like 4 years ago. Since no one has an answer as to why he did it, maybe they could have pointed that out a little bit more as well as giving more details about the interview and the doctor. I didn't know what she meant when she said the doctor was on restrain or something like that and so it would've been helpful to clarify that to make it easier to understand on the spot. I probably won't ever do a 3 minute voice over to...

http://www.kmbc.com/article/woman-fakes-seizure-to-avoid-would-be-mugger-that-handed-her-frightening-note/12272675 In this story, the Reporter did a good job of giving the 5 w's and getting good b-roll. The story was well told and we had a good idea of what the situation was. The standup looked good and she was easy to understand. The interview was good as well and the interviewee gave very good responses to the questions. The reporter labeled the story 'Woman fakes seizure to avoid would be mugger that handed her a frightening note' and didn't elaborate on that at all which think drew most of the views to the story in the first place. Instead, she says the woman faked a medical problem and that was all of it. Another thing the reporter could improve was asking the yes or no question rather than giving the interviewee a question they could've gone more in depth with. The interviewee did elaborate on the question, but if she hadn't, then it would've been...

http://www.kctv5.com/clip/13695506/kansas-city-natives-remain-stranded-in-florida-due-to-hurricane-irma In this news story, the reporter did a good job of getting many people involved to create a full story and show the effect of irma on everyone through Kansas City natives. They showed a lot of "B-roll" through the videos that the people they were video-chatting with sent in. I thought that even though it was hard for them to get good B-roll, they made it work with the footage they got and it was still able give the viewers a lot of information about what is going on. I think the reporter coulee used more footage from the actual hurricane instead of just the interviews that the people sent in, but at the same time it helped make it more personal. I think a little back story coulee been helpful to start off the story. I will take away from this story how important it is to get multiple interviews and also I learned the creative ways to get b-roll that I hadn'...
