News Notes

Define “Broadcast Journalism” in 1-3 sentences. 

The telling of current events that are news worthy through television, radio, or internet.

List and describe the six criteria of newsworthiness. 

1. Prominence - Things that happen with celebrities. ex: Brittany Spears shaves head.

2. Proximity - How close you are to an event. ex: Saudi Arabia Weather doesn't relate to us.

3. Timeliness - Current news. ex: The Twins Win 5 weeks ago.

4. Unusualness - Things that are unusual. ex: Hurricane strikes Florida.

5. Significance - How many people are impacted. ex: Twin Towers go down.

6. Human Interest - A feel good story. ex: Baby dolphin born in zoo. 



What are the differences between print journalism and broadcast journalism?

1. Print goes into more detail.

2. Broadcast is much more current.

3. Print allows you to choose what you want to read, when you read, and how long you want to read.


How is the Internet impacting broadcast journalism?

    The internet allows you to access both the broadcast and print journalism side of things. The internet also 

allows you to bring it anywhere you would like.
