News Values

Timeliness

"Google's Blogger to put sexually explicit content behind privacy wall" http://www.cnet.com/news/googles-blogger-to-put-explicit-content-behind-privacy-wall/
This is timeliness because Blogger only announced this today. This will make all of the Blogger users be careful posting on that site.

Proximity

"Austin alcohol sales increase"
http://www.kvue.com/story/news/local/2015/02/24/austin-alcohol-sales-increase/23924889/
This in pacts people near to us, because it is referring to austin. This is good and bad, because people can drink more, but it is bad because people can drink and drive now, so there might be crashes and stuff.

Prominence

"Obama Vetoes Keystone XL Pipeline Bill, Defying GOP"
http://abcnews.go.com/Politics/wireStory/congress-sends-keystone-bill-obama-plans-veto-29181671
This is prominent because this impacts a lot of potential jobs and is a hallmark of Obamas presidency. This will probably make the Republicans very angry, and they will make them work harder against Obama.

Impact

"Congress split over ways to face Islamic State"
http://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/congress-is-divided-as-it-prepares-to-debate-war-against-the-islamic-state/2015/02/22/16a57c7e-b922-11e4-aa05-1ce812b3fdd2_story.html
If we intervene, we might spark off another war in the Middle East. This will shape foreign policy in the Middle East for the next long time.

Conflict

"Vladmir Putin" War with Ukraine would be 'apocalyptic' but unlikely"
http://www.cnn.com/2015/02/24/europe/ukraine-russia-conflict/
If they do start fighting, this could expand into a larger European war. If the US got further involved, than that might be enough to spark a larger worldwide conflict.

Human Interest

"Lawsuit targets Vermont over abortion"
http://www.burlingtonfreepress.com/story/news/local/2015/02/24/lawsuit-targets-vermont-abortion/23909863/
If the state of Vermont becomes another battleground state for abortion, then that wow restrict women's rights even more in this nation. The continued fight against abortion le by the Republican party shows that they have little or no regard for the rights of women, and that they just don't care about anyone except for taxpaying white Americans.

Novelty

"Cancer patient turns illness into punchline"
http://www.cbsnews.com/news/breast-cancer-patient-nicole-osborne-turns-illness-into-punchline/
This is a novel thing because cancer is usually a very bad thing, and the way that the comedian is reacting to it is very positive. He turned his death diagnosis into a laughable event.
