Newsworthiness
Story focus
statement: Deadline
for charges is tomorrow
Timing:
Kira Travino disappeared on Friday, so this is still very relevant, and since her
husband must be charged with her murder or let go by tomorrow, timing is a pretty
important factor.
Proximity:
The couple lived in the metro area and Kira worked at the Mall of America, so
proximity is important to the relevance of this story.
Oddity/Uniqueness:
This story isn’t that unusual, but the circumstances, like finding her car in a
far corner of the mall and the husband being held make it a little odd.
Significance:
A missing woman is considered important, especially when her husband is
suspected of murdering her, but it doesn’t have much of a direct impact on the community.
Human
interest: This story definitely appeals to sadness over a pretty young woman
who was possibly killed by her husband, and concern that she’s still missing.
Prominence:
No celebrities are involved, so this factor doesn’t really apply.
