In simple terms ‘Newsworthiness’ refers to news which is worthy of reporting. It can also mean that which news will get more limelight and which will get less. As per the reading the main items which are to be noticed while marking a news ‘newsworthy’ are its relevance, timeliness, simplification, predictability. Other factors include the composition and continuity of the news. It also important to focus on the fact that is the news about some elite people or country then that will get more focus. Negative news spreads like a forest fire and so in many cases that news is deemed ‘newsworthy’. If the news is about something odd or strange event then also it is getting more footfall.
