Preferred term

news values  

Definition

  • Journalists are taught either through workplace socialization or college training that events and people may possess any of a half dozen attributes, which can make them newsworthy. Informally “scoring” potential stories for those values is one of several routines used by news workers to define, select, and deliver news. [Source: Encyclopedia of Journalism; News Values]
