LO3: Be able to research and plan content for an article

News Values

Whether it effects anybody, does it reinforce the values of the owner etc.


Galtand and Ruge (1965)

Frequency - how often somthing is in the news

Dutch Election - Recently (2 weeks), this has been in the news frequently as there are many parts of it, their relationship with Turkey, each politician running, why the election differs from recent elections (Trump and Brexit) etc.

Threshold - the amount of superlatives or clear hyperbole of statement, appears on the headline on front covers, that captures attention


Unambiguity

Sport articles are unambiguous as they present clear facts and numbers

Meaningfulness and newsworthiness

Who's in politics/power, taxes, stuff that applies to people
This article explaining Brexit is what I'd click on, as I want to know more about Brexit because I know little, but it applies to me

Consonance - agreement of ideology/meaning

More likely to read an article if the article agrees with your opinions
This article about the second Scottish referendum will make the audience think that Scotland is definitely going to leave the UK, as it shows statistics to back up the claim - devolution

Unexpectedness

Something so unexpected (random articles, political or sporting results) you have to click on it

Reference to elites

People who are well known (politicians, Royal Family, celebrities - musicisans, actors, reality TV stars, local celebrities, sporting personalities, local governement officials)
E.g. Brangelina story

Personalisation

A way that a journalist directly tries to link content to the audience to personalise the article - rhetorical questions etc.
When we think we know alot about an elite by how it's written - ie anything to do with Donals Trump

Negativity

People are attracted to negative news (at least we're not in that sitiation)
