  1. - I think that one news storymore "important" than another is the information it contains in the story itself.
    - The charactersitics of a news story that might make it important for more than one day is if someone gets murdered or kidnapped. For example the Cheshire home invasion with the Petit Family,that happened over 4 years ago and people are still talking about it today.
    - The stories that make up my top list are :
    1. The komisarjevsky Case - I dont think it was right for them to do.
    2. Casey Anthony Case - The mother should have been found guilty because I personally think she did it.
    3. Sky Metalwala Case - I think the mother did this for publicity and attention from her family and because Casey Anthony got away with killing her daughter.
    Those are the stories that I found most interesting.
