Being 'Newsworthy' means something being of a sufficent quality to be reported in news bulletins or newspapers etc. It means that a story has to have soemthing interesting about it to make the person who is reading/watching the news to stop and think about the story and aslo create a reaction or response to it. There are 5 areas which make a story newsworthy they are:
Timing
Significance
Proximity
Prominence
Human Interest
When an editor needs to decide whether to run with a particular story, he or she will ask how well the story meets each of these criteria. Normally, a story should perform well in at least two areas to make a story newsworthy for the public to consume.
