News values in Corpus Christi, Texas

In a rather gruesome “Around the Area” column in the Corpus Cristi Caller-Times about decomposed corpses, a road death and a suspected murder, comes a story about four adults and a child being stuing by bees. The City's “vector control” disposed of the bees which had been disturbed by road cleaners. Presumably, they were africanized bees. All the victims were treated at the site and made a full recovery. Phew! Oh yes, the fifth story was about four council members being at a Town Hall.
