Eight News Values For measuring newsworthiness
2
IMPACT What is the definition?
3
IMPACT How many people are affected? How seriously are they affected?
This is where we get the term “hard-hitting” journalism. While an event may be considered newsworthy because of its appeal or its novelty, the most important news stories have IMPACT.
4
IMPACT EXAMPLES Natural disasters that are or compare to unprecedented events Passage of legislation on a state or national level An election Other examples of newsworthy events with significant impact include: Natural disasters such as Hurricane Katrina that are or compare to unprecedented events; passage of legislation on a state or national level or an election.
5
WEIGHT What is the definition?
6
Out of character Unexpected
WEIGHT Similar to impact BUT… WEIGHT of a story includes how many & how seriously, but can also be measured by depth of pain, shock or how “out of character” or “unexpected” something might be IMPACT WEIGHT Out of character Unexpected Shock Depth of pain How seriously? How many? vs. Weight is very similar to impact… in fact, sometimes it is hard to tell the two apart without actually using the word “heaviness.” The weight of a story also includes how many and how seriously, but can also be measured by the depth of pain, shock or how “out of character” or “unexpected” something might be.
7
WEIGHT EXAMPLES Accidental death vs. injury
National sporting event vs. local sporting event The death of four young people in an accident bears more weight than the injury of four young people.
8
TIMELINESS What is the definition?
9
TIMELINESS What is new? The quality of timeliness is that the story provides new, updated relevant information It is not OLD news
10
TIMELINESS EXAMPLES What happened today trumps last week’s news
Updates on conditions, charges, investigations add timeliness to older news
11
PROXIMITY What is the definition? Ask students to define impact.
12
PROXIMITY Nearness to the audience (both emotionally and physically)
People want to make personal connections “hits close to home” sometimes the big stories have to be funneled and the scope narrowed to explain the importance on a “proximous” level
13
PROXIMITY EXAMPLES National mortgage crises covered in reference to local people losing their homes Health epidemics/diseases and how parents can protect their children
14
PROMINENCE What is the definition? Ask students to define impact.
15
PROMINENCE The bigger you are, the bigger the target!
People are naturally curious about people who are famous or in positions of power But they also have the power to make an event that might not be big news, a big deal!
16
PROMINENCE EXAMPLES Britney Spears shaves her head (hundreds of thousands of people do this every day…) Taylor Swift goes to a small-town high school prom with a fan (suddenly the prom is newsworthy)
17
CONFLICT What is the definition? Ask students to define impact.
18
CONFLICT Newsworthy because two or more people, entities, groups or teams are opposing one another People want to witness or know the outcome of the conflict THERE AREN’T TWO SIDES TO EVERY CONFLICT Sometimes, the conflict is within and that makes the story newsworthy; i.e. overcoming obstacles or personal struggles
19
CONFLICT EXAMPLES Presidential Debates The World Series
Steve Jobs Biography
20
NOVELTY What is the definition? Ask students to define impact.
21
NOVELTY Means the story is intriguing or has an interesting spin to it, not something you hear of everyday IN REALITY: It is hard to verify and play an editorial role for this type of story
22
NOVELTY EXAMPLES A U.S. petty officer levels the surface for a gazebo to expand a school during a Continuing Promise 2008 humanitarian assistance project; news crew filming the excavation and relocation of turtles at a beach
