It's all in how you write it, 67GreenRambler. 
You mention that one woman has been arrested and three are at large...  without saying "Hey, look at this! Four women! Yeah, women!"

Say what you will it is still quite rare for a violent crime to be perpetrated by an organized gang of women.
It is not the norm in our society.
There has been been very much publicity given to the case of the group of Toronto teen and younger women and girls who swarmed and murdered a homeless man.
The case was given huge play in the media because it is shocking that girls and women would beat and stab a homeless man to death.
If it was four or five young men or teen males I bet you would never have heard much about the case at all.

 

Speaking of burying the lede - those familiar with Newfoundland radio will recognize the Stirling family name. They own NTV, the biggest private Nfld. television outlet in the province.

On Monday, the station put up a sad tribute to Geoff Stirling Jr., the son of the owner of the network. There were tributes galore about what a great person he was and how he was gone at the very young age of just 45. There are also words about his character, how he was a churchgoer and gave back to society. 

There are a ton of pics showing a very handsome young man and it appears this was a terrible tragedy - which it is. 

Here's the station's story on his passing. 

But it's not until the very last paragraph of the story that they bring you what Paul Harvey would term "the rest of the story." 

Turns out Stirling the younger was shot to death by cops in his adopted hometown of Newport Beach, California after his motorcycle was stopped by an officer and he allegedly tried to grab his taser and attack the officer with it.

It's kind of an important detail, but if you don't scroll down to the very last sentence of the original, you would never have known about the death of this "saint."

Here's the real story from the Canadian Press.

Reporting on individual crimes isn't really news in the first place. It's cheap, lazy, click/ratings-bate. It's why fewer people consume "news" and why politicians and CEOs get away with so much.

Reporting a stat that more women are getting charged with these types of crimes is news. Individual instances aren't.

My issue wasn't with the importance or non-importance of the story per se. But if you're going to report it, the fact that the guy was gunned down by cops after he allegedly tried to steal one of their weapons should certainly have come in the first graph, not in the last sentence!
