Clues

  • "Cultural Proximity" stories concerned with people who speak the same language, look the same, etc. (14)
  • A story that is already in the news; previous coverage can make it less ambiguous (10)
  • An event is more likely to be covered if it has been pre-scheduled (14)
  • An event that is out of the ordinary will have a great effect than something that is an everyday occurrence. (14)
  • Bad news is more newsworthy than good news. (10)
  • Competition between media may lead journalists to endorse the news value given to a story (jump on the bandwagon) (11)
  • Events that can be portrayed as the actions of individuals rather than something with no "human interest" (15)
  • Relevant in tabloids especially. Events who's implications are clear and don't need any background knowledge. (11)
  • Stories concerned with the rich, powerful and famous. 1 (9, 2, 7)
  • Traditional media have strict deadlines and a short production cycle, they choose items that can be researched and covered quickly. (4, 11)
