Getting ready to review the 7 elements of news in gifs!
TIMELINESS - how recent?
CONSEQUENCE - has a DIRECT impact on the audience ($, laws, roads, schools; like if gas prices just, a road shuts down, change in driving age or voting age)
HUMAN INTEREST - the personal stories connected to bigger issues like gun safety, Cancer, the military, immigration; you could present research paper style facts, but you tell someone’s personal experience and connect it to the wider issue.
@WJMC_Mason @BlueCrewWJMC #WJMC2018 #BlueCrewWJMC We’re getting ready for the local news reporting simulation this afternoon!
PROXIMITY - how close by? (The closer, the better)
CONFLICT - arguments, politics, sports...
ODDITY - unique, unusual stuff makes the news
PROMINENCE - how famous? (Name recognition)
