News Values:
How much worth a story has to the audience and the gatekeeper. The news story has to meet a certain criteria in order to get published, this has to be in the public's interest.
different news values:
Frequency (how often is it in the news) Barack Obama is mainly reported on his presidency but also reported on where he went to eat, what his wife wears, where he goes on holiday.

Threshold (amount of superlatives or clear hyperbole of statement)
unambiguity (looks like they know the facts, mode of address, WWWWWH)
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/rugby-union/39243644
meaningfulness and newsworthiness http://lifestyle.one/heat/celebrity/news/gemma-collins-sparks-engagement-rumours/ 'Gemma Collins is apparently back with her ex and sparks engagement rumours' This is meaningful to heat's target audience as female are stereotypically interested in celebrity gossip and rumours. Also the age demographic would be teenagers, maybe who see Gemma Collins as ideal self or partner and aspire to be like her.
consonance (agreement of ideology/meaning) http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4307446/Madeleine-McCann-detectives-search-resort-worker.html This sparks an interest in my because I belief that the family and people around Madeleine McCann have kept secrets. I was interested in this article because it reflects my views on the McCann and that they shouldn't be given so much tax payer money to search this far on.
unexpectedness (when something is strange and unexpected to be reported on)https://www.thesun.co.uk/living/3071810/britains-tallest-couple-add-twin-boys-to-their-lofty-brood-who-measure-in-at-2ft-9in-at-just-17-months-old/
reference to elites (politicians, royal, film stars, musicians, sport)personalities) https://www.thesun.co.uk/news/3072111/princess-diana-lover-james-hewitt-denies-prince-harrys-biological-father/
personalisation how the article connects you to a topic through personalisation. https://www.thesun.co.uk/tvandshowbiz/3073905/george-michael-leaves-his-10m-london-pad-to-his-favourite-older-sister/ by using the word 'favourite' it makes the reader feel like they know more about George Michael
negativity http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4307866/Photos-emerge-remains-deadly-Christmas-Eve-blaze.html
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-4307446/Madeleine-McCann-detectives-search-resort-worker.html (consonance, personalisation, negativity, frequency, unambiguity)
