This document discusses news values that guide media outlets in determining story newsworthiness. The 7 main news values are timeliness, proximity, impact, controversy, prominence, human interest, and novelty. Stories with more of these elements, like being recent, local, affecting many people, or unusual are more likely to be published and spread. The news cycle process of selection, reporting, editing, and dissemination is also influenced by prioritizing stories that better align with these news values.

JOURNALISM INTRODUCTION
VALUES NEWS News values are general guidelines for media outlets, such as newspapers or broadcast media, to determine how much attention to give to a story. There are 7 news values that most news organizations around the world agree with and use as a guide to deciding how newsworthy a story is. When these elements are strong in your story, it is more likely to be published and republished:
Timelessness Recent events have higher news value than earlier happenings. News is most valuable within the first 12 hours of it happening. If you're reporting on an issue or event that is happening now, it's very important to publish as quickly as practical. Proximity Stories about events and situations in one's home community are more newsworthy than events that take place far away. Impact The number of people whose lives will be influenced in some way by the subject of the story. The facts and events that have the greatest effect on the audience are the most newsworthy.
Controversy Arguments, debates, charges, countercharges, and fights increase the value of news. When there are strong opposing viewpoints on an issue that's relevant to the community, news value increases. Prominence If someone famous did or said it, the story has more news value than if an ordinary person did or said it.
HumanInterest When lots of people in the community are discussing an issue, it has currency and stories about the issue increase in value. Novelty The weirdness of an event can make it newsworthy. Novelty means something different, something against the general routine of people, something amazing,something incredible, something astonishing, something unusual.
