Newsworthiness
Story focus
statement: Animals
rescued from hoarder
1.
Timing: The animals were saved recently (the last couple of days), so the story
is current
2. Proximity: The animals were rescued from a
house in Minneapolis, so proximity is an important factor
3. Human interest: This story appeals to sadness
– the poor, suffering animals! – so this is an important factor
4. Oddity/Uniqueness: Hoarding situations,
especially with 38 cats, are somewhat unusual.
5. Significance: The animals were clearly
suffering – there were also a bunch of dead animals in there – so that’s kind
of significant, but no people were threatened.
6. Prominence: No celebrities were involved, so
this factor doesn’t really apply
