News Values

1) Timeliness:
In this article, it captures how vital timeliness is to journalists because of the constant updates and records the writer needs to keep of Trump's split personalities from day to day.
Different Day, Different Audience, and a Completely Different Trump:

2) Proximity:
Texas has been dealing with conflict between residents about the issue of changing the voter ID laws; this article stands out to people in the Texas area because of its more personal relationship to them.

3) Prominence:
In a subject like terrorist attacks, most people look to the news for updated information. This article is a perfect representation of what a prominent news article should look like. The severity of terrorist attacks is enough to cause all readers to want to stay in the know.

4) Impact:
Over the past few weeks, the topic of Trump's new decisions as President has been extremely controversial. Seeing that the Military transgender ban could begin within 6 months, makes the readers see how real this situation could be, and how much it could impact the U.S.
Military Transgender Ban to Begin Within 6 Months:

5) Conflict:
Seeing two extremely conflicting politicians like Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump, it definitely sparks interest in the heads of U.S. citizens when seeing such an article. The conflict from both of them separately and together constantly appears in the newspapers because of the readers' interest in the feud.
Hillary Clinton says 'skin crawled' when Trump stood behind her at the debate:

6) Human Interest:
Seeing anything with the word 'hostage' in it automatically creates empathy for readers to the people being affected. With a situation like the current Charleston hostage crisis, it sparks interests in people to read an article with such a tragic story.
1 dead, 1 critical in Charleston hostage situation:

7) Novelty:
This specific article about a woman winning the $758 million dollar jackpot attracts people to want to read it because of its unusualness and positive attitude, almost creating a sense of hope in readers who think that winning the lottery or having a great experience could happen to them as well.

Car raid

Avery Shelton has had her favorite silver Toyota Forerunner since 2015. Her car has traveled with her as she has grown and has served her well. Shelton’s family bought her car in 2015, and it’s been used by her family almost every day. “My family uses our car all the time,” Shelton said. “We use it for simple things such as going to the store, but also on big trips across the country.” The car is tidy, but has dilapidated grey seats. “Since we use our car so much, we often find that it gets a little run-down,” Shelton said. “We always try to keep it as clean as possible though.” Shelton has three sisters who can make life in the car quite difficult. “The biggest downside about the car is that my sisters always take up so much room,” Shelton said. “They’re so loud and make a ton of messes in the car.” A cinnamon-scented car diffuser dangles from the mirror, filling the car with a delicious smell. “We love our diffuser so much,” Shelton said. “I think it ...

C.E. 4.1

Short Answer: 1. La Veta, Colorado 2. This cartoon is making fun of what President Trump said about having a 'bigger button' than Kim Jong Un, and that made him sound idiotic.  3. Bobby Levinski, Ellen Troxclair, Rich DePalma, and Shane Sexton. 4. Seven Players were chosen. They're Sabrina Bianco, Avery McKenzie, Caitlin Godwin, Kandace Blackburn, Keara McGraw, Kyndall Johnson, and Emily Swift.  5. I'd like to own the Fitbit and the Gopro because I know how the regular products work, and those seem like really advanced pieces of technology. The Gopro is useful for skiing, and the fitbit would be useful for getting back into exercise.  Long Response: 1. The name of the book is called: " Fire and Fury: Inside the Trump White House" 2. Trump's lawyer says that the book includes false statements about Trump, therefore "give rise to claims for libel". For that reason, Trump doesn't want the book to go out. 3. I think in some cases, ye...
