Newsworthiness

---

To be considered newsworthy, an event usually must have broad interest due to 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?)
