Newsworthiness
Story focus
statement: Explosion
damages church
Proximity:
Since this happened in Brooklyn Center, it is pretty local, and therefore
proximity is important in making this newsworthy.
Timing:
The explosion occurred earlier that day, so timing is an important factor.
Oddity/Uniqueness:
An explosion from a gas line that damages a church is somewhat unusual, so this
factor contributed to the newsworthiness of the story.
Significance:
Some people might have to go to a damaged church for a while, but this story isn’t
very significant – nobody was injured or anything like that.
Human
interest: This story might make some people a bit sad, but it doesn’t evoke
much emotion.
Prominence:
No celebrities are involved, so this factor doesn’t apply.
