To be considered newsworthy, an event usually must
have broad interest in one or more news values:
Effect (how many people were, are or will be affected?)
Timeliness (did the event occur very recently?)
Revelation (is there significant new information,
previously unknown?)
Proximity (was the event nearby geographically?)
In recent years increasing weight has also been
given to the following news values:-
Entertainment (does it make for a fun story?)
ddity (was the event highly unusual?)
Celebrity (was anyone famous involved?)
