1. Select 5 news stories and explain the news values
News values determine how much importance a news story is given by the media, and the attention it is given by the audience.
There are several news values:
Impact: If the news has an impact on people directly. For e.g. budget news, increase in fuel prices.
Timeliness: information has timeliness if it happened recently.
Prominence: information has prominence if it involves a well-known person or organization.
Proximity: information has proximity if it involves something happened somewhere nearby.
Conflict: information has conflict if it involves some kind of disagreement between two or more people.
Weirdness: information has weirdness if it involves something unusual or strange.
What you need to do:
Select five news items, paste them on a white paper leaving at least 5 lines below each cut out. Underline the word (s) that you feel meet the news value criteria. Write down the word, and the news value that it represents.
