It was called "sensationalism" back in the old days. Wording like that is an attention grabber for people who want to somehow identify with the incident/individual. While UT is big news, only a few of us are interested in events in/around Sam Houston Institue of Technology.seamusTX wrote:I'm not criticizing you (much, anyway); but I have never understood why some details of a news story are considered newsworthy and others are not.
I don't know what difference it would make if the suspect had dropped out of U.T. or Sam Houston Institute of Technology, or whether he lived "near" River Oaks or in the Third Ward.
It's like news stories where they absolutely have to identify someone with a profession, such as unemployed former dog walker.
