7 News Values

Timeliness

Police identify fatal shooting victim, continue search for gunman

I think this is timeliness because it had just happened today, and it will be on the local news.

http://www.statesman.com/news/news/crime-law/police-continue-to-investigate-northeast-austin-sh/nXHg2/

Proximity

Official: Fire damages South Austin home, displaces one

This is proximity because it is close to where we all live.

http://www.statesman.com/news/news/local/official-fire-damages-south-austin-home-displaces-/nXHtR/

Prominence

APD to honor Boy Scout who came to man’s aid

I think this Prominence because it is just about one person that is helping another man.

http://www.statesman.com/news/news/crime-law/apd-to-honor-boy-scout-who-came-to-mans-aid/nXHpD/

Impact

Hurricane forecast: Above-average Atlantic season
This is impact because it could effect a lot of people that live on the east coast.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2013/04/10/2013-atlantic-hurricane-season-forecast-colorado-state/2067953/

Conflict

South Korea and U.S. Gird for Missile Test by North Korea

I say this is conflict because it is about war and how the conflict is against North korea and United States.

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/11/world/asia/north-korea-missile.html?ref=world&_r=0

Human Interest

Couple's 83 years of marriage ends with wife's death

I think this is Human interest because people want to know how long they have been together and how they managed to live with each other for that long.

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/04/10/couple-married-83-years-wife-dies/2071435/

Novelty

Horse Meat Problems Resurface Across Europe

I say this is Novelty because it doesn't happen often on the news.
