Elements of news

-The concepts that make news news.
-There are facts that are newsworthy, and there are facts that are not newsworthy.
-There are facts which might be newsworthy in one town or at one school, but not in another town or another school.
-There are facts which might be newsworthy today, but not tomorrow.
-What makes a fact newsworthy is how it affects the people in your locality, the people who would read your publication.
-If the fact is not interesting to them or does not affect them in any way, it is not newsworthy
