What makes a story news worthy?

News is what somebody somewhere wants to suppress; all the rest is advertising.

Lord Northcliffe, British publisher 1865-1922


Well, news is anything that's interesting, that relates to what's happening in the world, what's happening in areas of the culture that would be of interest to your audience.
Kurt Loder, American journalist, b. 1945


Learning targets:

I can integrate and evaluate multiple sources of information presented in different media or formats (e.g., visually, quantitatively) as well as in words in order to address a question or solve a problem.

I can analyze and evaluate the effectiveness of the structure an author uses in his or her exposition or argument, including whether the structure makes points clear, convincing, and engaging.



What Makes Something Newsworthy?

Factors Journalists Use to Gauge How Big a Story Is            By Tony Rogers
Over the years editors, reporters and journalism professors have come up with a list of factors or criteria that help journalists decide whether something is newsworthy or not. They can also help you decide HOW newsworthy something is. Generally, the more of the factors below that can be applied to your event or story, the more newsworthy it’s bound to be. 

Impact or Consequences
Generally, the greater the impact a story has, the more newsworthy it is. Events that have on impact on your readers, that have real consequences for their lives, are bound to be newsworthy. 

An obvious example would be the 9/11 terrorist attacks. In how many ways have all of our lives been affected by the events of that day? The greater the impact, the bigger the story.

Conflict
If you look closely at the stories that make news in any given day, chances are most of them will have some element of conflict. Whether it’s a dispute over banning books at a local school board meeting, bickering over budget legislation in Congress, or the ultimate conflict – war – conflict is almost always newsworthy. 

Conflict is newsworthy because as human beings we’re naturally interested in conflict. Think of any book you’ve ever read or movie you’ve ever watched – they all had some type of conflict. Without conflict, there would be no literature or drama. Conflict is what propels the human drama.

Imagine two city council meetings. At the first, the council passes its annual budget unanimously with little or no argument. In the second, there is violent disagreement. Some council members want the budget to provide more city services, while others want a bare-bones budget with tax cuts. The two sides are entrenched in their positions and in the city council chambers the conflict erupts into a full-scale shouting match,

Which story is more interesting? The second, of course. Why? Conflict. Conflict is so interesting to us as humans that it can even make an otherwise dull-sounding story – the passage of a city budget – into something utterly gripping. And the ultimate conflict – war – is always a huge story.

Loss of Life/Property Destruction

There’s an old saying in the news business: If it bleeds, it leads. What that means is that any story involving loss of human life – from a fire to a shooting to a terrorist attack - is bound to be newsworthy. Likewise, nearly any story that involves property destruction on a large enough scale – a house fire is a good example - is also bound to be news.

Many stories have both loss of life and property destruction – think of the house fire in which several people perish. Obviously loss of human life is more important than property destruction, so write the story that way.

Proximity

Proximity has to do with how close an event is geographically is to your readers or viewers. A house fire with several people injured might be big news in your hometown newspaper, but chances are no one will care in the next town over. Likewise, wildfires in California usually make the national news, but clearly they’re a much bigger story for those directly affected.
Prominence

Are the people involved in your story famous or prominent? If so, the story becomes more newsworthy. For example, if an average person is injured in a car crash, chances are that won’t even make the local news. But if the president of the United States is hurt in a car crash, it makes headlines around the world.

Prominence can apply to politicians, movie stars, star athletes, CEOs – anyone who’s in the public eye. But it doesn't have to mean someone who’s famous worldwide. The mayor of your town probably isn't famous, even locally. But he or she is prominent in your town, which means any story involving him or her is likely to be more newsworthy. Prominence can apply on a local, national or international level.
Timeliness 

In the news business we tend to focus on what’s happening this day, this hour, this minute. So events that are happening now are often more newsworthy than those that happened, say, a week ago.
Another factor that relates to timeliness is currency. This involves stories that may not have just happened but instead have an ongoing interest to your audience. For example, the rise and fall in gas prices is something that’s been happening for several years, but it’s a story that’s still relevant to your readers, so it has currency. 

Novelty
Another old saying in the news business goes, “When a dog bites a man, no one cares. When the man bites back – now that’s a news story.” The idea, of course, is that any deviation from the normal, expected course of events is something novel, and thus newsworthy

Woman finds out the hard way that a slice of pizza is not a valid form of ID



A college-aged woman who hoped to enter Monkey Bar in Amherst, Massachusetts last week was upset to learn that her slice of pizza did not suffice as a form of ID. 
Just after midnight, the 21-year-old woman attempted to enter the bar while holding a slice of pizza (A tortellini slice from Antonio's, in case you were wondering). When the bouncer requested that she show her ID, she "instead attempted to present a slice of pizza," per the official report. When the unnamed woman was informed, regrettably, that a wad of bread, tomato, and cheese isn't very informative as to one's proof of age, she slapped the bouncer.
Police then got involved and issued her a trespass notice, meaning that she and her pizza would need to stay away from the establishment.

Harvard scientists reveal physics behind molasses disaster

By William J. Kole



The Great Molasses Flood of 1919 — one of Boston’s most peculiar disasters — killed 21 people, injured 150 others, and flattened buildings when a giant storage tank ruptured.

Now Harvard University researchers think they know why the wave of sticky stuff claimed so many lives: A winter chill rapidly cooled the molasses as it streamed through the streets, complicating rescuers’ frantic efforts to free victims.

A team of experts who studied the disaster to gain a better understanding of fluid dynamics concluded that cold temperatures quickly thickened the syrupy mess, which might have claimed few if any lives had it occurred in spring, summer, or fall.
Team leader Nicole Sharp said she hopes the findings — presented last week at a conference of the American Physical Society — will shed new light ‘‘on the physics of a fascinating and surreal historical event.’’

Study: Poor children most likely to lack vaccinations

by Justin Murphy

While it is common to hear of parents who refuse to vaccinate their children for religious or philosophical reasons, the more pressing concern is poor children who are unintentionally missing part of their vaccination series.
That finding, published this month in the journal JAMA Pediatrics, comes from a new study of New York state school children outside of New York City. It shows that districts and health care providers would be wise to make sure all students whose parents wish for them to be vaccinated actually get the shots.
New York allows only medical and religious vaccination exemptions. The researchers correlated those numbers with the number of children who actually lack vaccinations, as well as a variety of socioeconomic factors.
They found that children in wealthy districts, with a median household income of more than $100,000, were more than three times as likely to have a religious vaccination exemption as children in poor districts.
Those numbers, though, are quite small. Even in the wealthy districts, just one in 172 students has a religious exemption, and medical exemptions are even more uncommon.
In poor districts, though, about one in 40 students lacks a full immunization series, compared with one in 75 in the wealthiest districts. That shows that parental choice is not the main obstacle to full immunization of New York children.

“While religious exemptions are associated with higher socioeconomic status, the effect of these exemptions is small compared with unintended underimmunization, which disproportionately occurs in the economically challenged districts,” the authors wrote. “Public health practitioners should continue to enforce effective vaccination exemption policies and carefully examine barriers to vaccination among children in poorer school districts.”
In Monroe County, 15 schools have at least 5 percent of students who lack full vaccination, according to 2013-14 data. Eleven of them are private religious schools while the other four are in the Rochester City School District.
Just 64 percent of the 27 students at the Talmudic Institute of Upstate New York in Rochester had a full vaccination, by far the lowest rate locally.

Police fatally shoot man who shot 2 others


by Elvia Malagon


 An adult man was fatally shot by Chicago police after wounding two others, one fatally, early Friday in the Homan Square neighborhood, officials said. 
Kevin Navarro, first deputy superintendent for the Chicago Police Department, said officers were responding about 12:25 a.m. Friday to a call of gunfire near the intersection of Harrison Street and Central Park Avenue in the Homan Square neighborhood on the West Side. 

When the officers arrived at the scene, they saw a man shooting another man while standing over him, Navarro said. The officers exited their vehicles and engaged the shooter. At some point, the officers fatally wounded the shooter, Navarro said.
The man, who had not yet been identified, was pronounced dead at the scene.
