1. The reports on this tragedy dominated the front pages of newspapers for months. Journalists used the impact of the event as the main news value, also using the poluarity of Thialand and other regions as holiday destinations for Australians.
2. Conflict, proximity and human interest are news values that would have been important when considering the angle of this story when writing a report. These values bring alot of attention to the story. Readers are often more interested in a story of conflict than a story of peace.
3. b. Prominence relates to a person who is highly recognisable on any scale. Prince Charles is known on an international level therefore writing a story based on his opinion is going to be better than a story written about an Australian mayor who is only nationally known.
4. News is any information that is out of the usual.
5. Kipling's 'Six Strong Serving Men' are very important when writng a news sotry. In most cases some of the 'Serving Men' are more important than others depending on the angle of the sotry.
Points of Interest:
- Kipling's 'Six Strong Serving Men' are: who-what-when-where-how-why. These Six strong serving men are important to consider when writing a news story, or any story really. In all circumstances where i have had to write a news story i always plan my story around who-what-when-where-how and why to make sure i cover all aspects of the story.
- Each 'Serving Man' should be addressed in a story.
- News is 'anything you find out today that you didn't know before' Turner Catledge. To me this quote means that news is kind of undefinable, apart from the fact that it is some kind of information you didnt know before, new information or knowledge. The quote says that news isn't what someone says should be news.
