Newsworthiness
Story
focus statement: Injured senate aid thanks supporters
1. Prominence: He became prominent after his affair
with Amy Koch, and that is why his tweet is on the news now.
2. Proximity: This is an important factor because it
happened in the metro area.
3. Significance: While a tweet isn’t a big deal, Michael
Brodkorb was important because he was in a scandal with the former Minnesota Senate
majority leader and because he was then injured in a car crash.
4. Timing: While the aid was in the car crash 11
days ago, the story is relevant because of his tweet today thanking everybody
for their support as he recovers.
5. Oddity/Uniqueness: It’s kind of odd that he ended
up in a bad car crash while in the public eye because of the affair, but not
that weird.
6. Human interest: Some people may feel disgust at
his affair or be happy to hear he’s doing better, but this isn’t a huge factor.
