Newsworthiness
Story focus
statement: Cardinals
still choosing next pope
Prominence:
The pope is one of the most influential people alive – he’s pretty prominent.
Significance:
The pope is pretty significant to Christians, so this affects the lives of 1.2
billion people, if indirectly.
Timing:
The cardinals are debating who the next pope will be right now, so timing is
very relevant.
Oddity/Uniqueness:
It isn’t very often that a new pope is chosen, so this factor influences the
newsworthiness.
Human
interest: This doesn’t inspire that many feelings. This factor isn’t very important.
Proximity:
This doesn’t apply, since the pope is chosen in Vatican City, far away.
