"Man Arrested After Allegedly Sniffing Feet at Florida International Library." That is the actual title of a story under the category of crime found on Fox News. The whole article was about a man going to a library and getting under a table to sniff a woman's feet, then getting arrested after fleeing from the cops. This is the perfect example of a journalist making the interesting important rather than the important interesting. This article is not newsworthy, it will not affect anyone for a long period of time except the man. Yet in the article they made everything seem very dramatic and important. They blew the whole story out of proportion by making it seem like a huge crime. Sometimes it is good to have stories like this because it shows what not to do while writing a news story.
