News and Treatment Values

 

 

News Values:

 

is a theory set by Galtung and Ruge which basically outlines the whole criteria for what is crucial to a news story. Usually, the best and most important news stories are the ones which include all 12 of these values. Whereas, all of the side stories will be missing a lot of them. For example, if a huge storm destroyed half of England it would be a huge story and i would relate to everyone.

• Immediacy - has the even recently happened?
• Familiarity - is this story instantly recognisable?
