Could say things that are relevant to a particular nation matters of public interest. E.g. Terrorism. Things we should and need to know – govt, education, employment, NHS – inform us to help us make sense of the world and entertain.

Links back to 16 th century Big money business – advertisers generate money – keep them sweet Best story – will be seen across different newspapers because it is considered the most newsworthy thus generate most sales - money
Could argue that it is early tabloid style
The Sun Vs the Guardian Different target audiences – Sun, working class and Guardian, ABC1 demographic, educated intellectuals like yourself, graduates Sun, human interest – celebrity, real life stories/ Guardian, social commentators on current affairs, political and economic matters
Interested in – journalists use news values to prioritise news output. Not written down, exist in practice while learned on the job. Sun – celebrity, human interest Guardian – stories of a political nature Star – celebrity scandals and gossip
MP ’ s scandal – the event unfolded and more MP ’ s were guilty, media acted as a moral voice
Haiti – more devastation, the more newsworthy
(F4) Mumbai attacks, significant cultural meaning – reinforced fear of terrorism, reinforced the fear of Islam, further stories linking terrorists to Britain – also, the way in which they carried out the attack, laid back, calm - shocking
(F7) E.g. Swine flu, recession, John Terry (F8) broadsheets do this more than tabloids
Under Galtung and Ruge, Obama and Blair would be elites, but now you could argue that Cowell and the Beckhams are also elites too
More boxes it ticks, the more newsworthy the event Haiti earthquake – Threshold (magnitude) – human interest, emotive, loss of lives, fire fighters from UK went to help (make it more personal to home) becomes more relevant
Hall is suggesting that although news values appear as a set of neutral, routine practices – we also need to look at the ideological meaning behind the text. What is the text trying to say/ how do the audience decode this meaning? How framed? How presented by the media group and how interpreted by us.

Galtung and Ruge focussed their investigation on three international crisis. Much has changed since.
Whereas Galtung and Ruge used Elite People, Harcup and O ’ Neill identified that celebrities should have their own news value – celebrity culture. Shows a changing of the times
4. All news is surprise, well most of? 5 & 6. Bad news – bank robbery rather than charity donation 7. Magnitude - Haiti
8. Relevance – terrorist attack in Columbia, not news, victim British – news. Closure of a national newspaper 9. Phone hacking saga as an ongoing story (since 2006!) 10. Political agendas
