How does your newspaper conform to Galtung and Rouges News
Values?
Immediacy: Newspapers only want to lead on eventsthat have just happened. For example my lead story
Boy,16, murdered in Wembley was designed in
order to make the audience believe the event
happened yesterday. Recent activities are more likely
to sell as the audience may not be interested in
something they have seen before that is old. But oftenthe media take an old situation and try present it
differently to the public and give it a today angle.

Familiarity: Because of the
geographic area that my paper is
serving it will be representing the
local area to an audience rangingthrough social class categories
from B-E. The audience can relate
to the stories in my paper as it is
presenting local news. This offers
them a sense of stability and
comfort as they are reading newson a area they are familiar with.

Amplitude: The stories shown to
the left are example of amplitude
also known as big stories. A
murder is usually a big story whenassociated in a popular area such
as Wembley. Also events that
include celebrities are likely to
draw in the readers especially
seeing as its local.

Frequency: This tends to
include something that usually
happens fast e.g. a murder.
Unambiguity: This strictly
means are the stories easy to
explain and are they clear
enough for the audience tounderstand. All the stories I
have included are straight to
the point and are easy to
understand, such as the
example shown on the left.
Newspaper often avoid storiesthat are difficult to explain as
they want to draw in their
readers not confuse them.

Predictability: The stories are often
repeatable but conveyed differently
each time as the audience expect it
to happen. Although predictable canbe boring the editors present each
story in a different way in order to
keep the audience intrigued.
Murder stories are often predictable
but due to the media presentingthem differently it is still interesting
to read.

Surprise: This often includes
rare events as the audiences
sometimes like surprises even if
they are unusual.
As shown to the right > Tinie
Tempah makes fans PASS OUT.
This may surprise/excite the
readers as its not often you
hear about celebrities in yourlocal area so this may interest
them in some way as it is
unexpected.

Continuity: This can also relate to predictability as it is a running story that may
have been in the news before but is being continued as a different issue.Newspapers are always looking for new angles on on-going news stories.
Stories such a murder is often repeated. This puts a strain on the area as it is going
to be represented as dangerous. Murder is always defined as news but due to the
editors and the features within the story this helps to present it differently.

Elite nations or people: The events
have occurred in a well known
area as Wembley which is
ironically known for the Arena and
Stadium.
Events that are likely to take part in
these 2 iconic buildings will often
create good reading material as it
is something that will definitely
interest people.
On the right shows my example of
Elite people such as Tinie Tempah
as he is likely to interest Wembley
as its readers vary between classes
so the categories between B-E
which my paper is serving are
likely to be familiar with the likes
of this celebrity.

Negativity: Negativity within a newspaper often requires bad
news . Bad news always seems to get more press and public
attention.
< 3 examples: All these examples demonstrate bad press that
most likely interests the readers.

Visual Impact: Often really strong
stories are presented with a image to
further engage their readers.
Occasionally newspapers will lead witha story based on the strength of the
images that go with it.
Tinie Tempah makes fans PASS OUT
I have used a picture of Tinie Tempah
in action of his Wembley Arena gig in
order to intrigue the readers.
Boy, 16, murdered in Wembley I
included the image of the Victim and
the Villain the provide the audience
with a sense of understanding as its a
local newspaper they may be able to
recognise the two youths.
