What is News? - News Values
News must be new, it must be relevant and there are several factors that help us to determine which story is more important to a given audience.
There are a number of recognised News Values:
Celebrity/Gossip:
Negativity: These include shock, horror, murder, tragedy, abduction etc.
Proximity: This means when news is in your local area, it is always more interesting to when it happens around you.
Elite: This includes news relating to the royal family, politicians or even counties.
Recency:
Currency: Currency doesn't just mean the story has just happened. The story could be over 3 years old but new evidence/parts to the story comes up and keeps the story going.
Continuity:
Unique: These could be one off stories. These usually have high news values.
Simplicity: Plain story's with a few of the news values involved are more likely to get coverage. They are easy for journalists to write.
Predictability:
Exclusivity:
Impact/Size: The more people that are affected by the story the bigger it gets and more coverage.

Intro To Radio News
Copy, Clips, Wraps,Voxes or Voicers
Stories can be reported in different ways to add impact, this is called a story treatment. Copy, Clips, Wraps, Voxes or Voicers are all different forms of treatment.
Copy
Copy is where the only voice you will hear the the newsreaders. it is a story with no audio attached to it.
Clip
This is where you hear a 'sound bite' from another person, who isn't a reporter. It may be a part of an interview. E.g. Robbie told us he is thrilled to have a daughter (cuts to Robbie saying how thrilled he is)
Wraps
A wrap is when you hear the newsreader followed by a clip then followed by the newsreader again.
Vox
This is where the story is enhanced by public opinion. It's a good way to add interest by involving the audience to interact. E.g. we asked what the students at South Downs College what they thought...
Voicers
This is where the newsreader 'crosses over' to someone at the scene, or someone with more expert knowledge on a particular subject. E.g. our sports reader xxx has more...
