News values are something that all newspapers have to go by in order to give the public news stories that will be of significance to them. There are 13 points in the criteria for this:
1.frequency,2.Threshold,3. Unambiguity, 4.Meaningfulness, 5.Consonance or 'correspondence', 6.Unexpectedness or 'surprise', 7.Continuity, 8.Composition, 9.Reference to elite nations, 10.Reference to elite persons, 11.Personalization, 12.Negativity, and 13.Actuality
I feel that all of my news stories fit this criteria in some way for example the article I have written on festival rumours would fit into threshold because it is a huge story in terms of the significance on the island, it has reference to elite nations, it also has an element of continuity in it as the story will wet the appetites of festival goers and will also leave space for future stories on festival rumours.
