Newsworthiness
Story focus
statement: Man
videotaped boys in locker room
Timing:
The man was accused of taping naked boys in the locker room at the YMCA only a
few days ago, so the story is still pretty new
Significance:
Child pornography is an awful thing, and since he was caught preying on boys,
it’s pretty significant.
Proximity:
This happened in the metro area, so proximity is an important factor in the
newsworthiness of the story.
Oddity/Uniqueness:
This story is somewhat unusual – you expect your kids to be safe in the
changing room at the YMCA – so this factor matters to the newsworthiness of the
story.
Human
interest: I guess this would appeal to the emotions of disgust and anger at
this man, but this isn’t a major factor.
Prominence:
No celebrities were involved, so this doesn’t really apply.
