News Values

Timeliness: Lebanon Sentences Ex-Official to 13 Years in Prison.
This article accounts for timeliness because it is on of the newest world problems. This article was posted at 8:52 Friday, April 8. Also this is a problem that should be handled fast or things could possibly get out of hand.

Proximity: European Union to Consider Requiring Visas for U.S. Travelers.
This is a good proximity article because it was posted about European countries' tourism rates and it was published in Brussels, a country with this problem. Brussels along with many other countries in Europe are considering putting more restrictions on american travelers. http://www.nytimes.com/2016/04/08/world/europe/european-union-to-consider-requiring-visas-for-us-travelers.html?ref=world

Prominence: South Korea Says North Has Capacity to  Put a Nuclear Warhead on a Missile.
I chose this for "prominence" because I thought that it is important to know about our nuclear powers. It's dangerous not knowing if a country (like North Korea) will use their weapons against countries like America.

Impact: Boko Haram Turns Female Captives Into Terrorists.
This is a good impact article because it has a very distinct tone and mood. It impacts everybody because it makes the audience feel bad about these women that are being forced to kill innocent people.

Conflict: Brazil's Congress Must Consider Impeaching Vice President.
I chose this for conflict because I think it's a good debate case. I think that this article is a good example of people discussing their ideas about the subject, and having arguments and conflicts within the whole idea.

Human Interest: Donald Trump, Despite Bashing Beijing, Is Not Without Fans in China.
This is a good example for human interest because I think that hundreds of people, Americans and Chinese alike have many things that they can say about Trump. This article could really get people interested because of who Trump is and what he is doing.

Novelty: 800-Pound Alligator Killed in Florida.
I chose this for novelty because this event was probably the most exciting thing that has happened for a while. If an 800 pound alligator showed up in Florida, it would be on the news everywhere because it is very unusual.
