Was she found in the car or outside of the car and was she shot at the bar?
Much confusion in such a short article.
Modern journalists have completely done away with the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of a report.
“Modern journalists have completely done away with the Who, What, When, Where, Why and How of a report.”
It’s all about writing “narrtives”, i.e. propaganda.
Thanks for posting this.

Yeah, I had the same frustration until I went back and realized the reporter was just trying to cite two conflicting accounts:
“NBC News’ Pete Williams reported, via, Andrew Blankstein, that Megan and her boyfriend had been found fatally shot in a car. Dayton Police Chief Richard Biehl has said that Megan and her boyfriend were not in a car when they were found dead.”
Inserting a sentence after the first sentence along the lines of “However, this conflicts with information on the couple from Dayton police.” would have helped the reader understand that there were differing reports.
Of course, choosing who to believe between NBC News and the Dayton Police Department isn’t going to be particularly difficult.
