The Daily Mail online news and news values



Gatekeeping - The journalist has decided that an article on a possible outbreak of Covid is newsworthy. 


Negativity - The negativity shown in this title and video creates excitement and strong feelings from the reader.  










Unambiguity - the heading of this story is simple "he's in the kitchen bleeding to death" which is straight to the point and cannot be interpreted in any other way than she doesn't care that he will die. 








Reference to elite persons - The famous and powerful are seen as more noteworthy by journalists as people are more likely to read an article about them than someone from the general public.









Extraordinariness - A rare event will have more news worthiness than everyday events and will most likely be picked by journalists.


Threshold - The bigger the event, the more likely it is to be reported nationally. A house explosion is uncommon and the article would raise concern for other houses which could possibly explode.








Personalisation - this is when an event is associated with a celebrity or leader by making it seem personal to them.
