Galtung and Ruge
-1965 analysed international news stories to find out what kind of stories came top of the news 'agenda'.- Their findings helped them create a list of 'News Values':
- Threshold: the bigger the impact and reach of the story
- Unexpectedness: an event that is a shock or out of the ordinary
- Negativity: Bad news is more interesting 'if it bleeds, it leads'
- Elite person/places: stories about important people and powerful nations
- Unambiguous: straightforward and easy to write about
- Personalisation: stories that include human interest- 'real' people
- Proximity: stories that are closer to home are more likely to be included
- Continuity/Currency: stories that are already in the news continue to run and are updated.
