What makes a story newsworthy? At World News Media Congress 2024 in Copenhagen, 12 delegates spent a day with 70 students from International Peopleâs College to answer the question.
In a workshop they examined the studentâs media preferences and shared perspectives across generations as a baseline to revise the traditional news values. Some were preserved, while others were renewed to a list of seven:
- Educational â show us news that helps us learn and understand more about relevant topics
- Empowering â show us news that encourages us and provides tools to take action based on informed decisions
- G-local â show us how global events impact us locally and vice versa
- Human â show us diverse representation through personal experiences, that evoke empathy, compassion and inspiration
- Impactful â show us events that affect numerous people and influence us or those involved
- Objective â show us fact-based news, unbiased and from different perspectives
- Timely â show us current news and prioritize ongoing events
