Prominence: applies to the people a news story is about. If the people are well- known, then the news story is deemed newsworthy because of prominence. Proximity: refers to the physical or emotional closeness of a news story to a media outlet’s audience and helps readers/viewers relate to a story on a more personal level.  Currency: comes into play when a particular story or theme is already being covered by the media and further developments or side stories are likely to be appreciated.   Timeliness: refers to harder-hitting stories and important developments in a story that would lose their newsworthiness if not reported as soon as possible. Conflict: refers to conflict or dispute between two or more parties. This may include international conflict such as war, political conflict during an election, conflict of opinion, conflict between two sporting teams, or reality TV competitors. o Conflict is a great news value because it often encourages audiences to take on side or the other. Therefore, readers, listeners, and viewers become emotionally invested in the story.  Impact: refers to the shock or “wow” factor of a news story and generally requires a story to affect a large group in a large way.  Human interest: heart-wrenching stories (happy or sad) about people and their challenges or achievements. Odd or unusual components: things that are out of the ordinary.
