Newsworthiness
Story focus
statement: Man
finds way to amass arsenal
Prominence:
The pope one of the most recognizable figures in the world, so he’s pretty
prominent.
Significance:
The pope has a great influence on the lives of many people, especially the 1.2
billion catholics, if indirectly.
Timing:
The pope was finally picked today, so timing-wise, the story is extremely
relevant.
Oddity/Uniqueness:
Popes aren’t selected very often, and this choice was thought to be particularly
unusual, so this factor matters.
Human
interest: This probably makes some people really happy – that seems to be the
main attitude of people in the story.
Proximity:
This factor doesn’t really apply, since the pope was selected in Vatican City,
which is nowhere near here.
