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.

Proximity
Official: Fire damages South Austin home, displaces one
This is proximity because it is close to where we all live.

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.

Impact

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

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.

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.

Novelty

Horse Meat Problems Resurface Across Europe

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