Newsworthiness
Story focus
statement: Teen
charged in girlfriend’s death
Proximity:
This happened in the metro area, so proximity is one of the more important
factors in newsworthiness.
Timing:
Anna Hurd’s body was found in a park only a few days ago, so the story is
pretty recent, and the charges against her boyfriend are new, so this is an
important factor.
Significance:
Though this doesn’t directly affect many people, a murder in the community is
pretty significant.
Oddity/Uniqueness:
Finding a girl dead in a park early in the morning is pretty unusual, and her
boyfriend being charged adds to the oddity of the story.
Human
interest: This story is pretty sad – a teen girl murdered in a park – so appeals
to people’s emotions in that way.
Prominence:
Nobody famous was involved, so this doesn’t apply.
