  1. News and the Editorial Process Lesson 4

  2. Legacy Media • Legacy media, also known as “old media” includes media channels that existed before the internet. For example, newspapers, magazines, TV and radio. • Legacy media organizations are established news brands. They now have online presences, with websites and social media channels, in addition to their original formats.

  3. What makes something newsworthy?

  4. News Values The following factors are often used to determine whether an event or issue is newsworthy. • Current: It is recent. • Important: It is likely to affect its audience. • Unique: Itis unusual or original. • Close: It takes place geographically close to its intended audience. • Competing views: There are opposing perspectives at play. • Famous: Itinvolves prominent or well-known people.

  5. Which news values can you identify in the following stories?

  6. Who determines and shapes the news? At news organizations, there are editors and producers who are referred to as “gatekeepers.” They decide which issues and events are selected as news, how stories are told, what is included and what is left out. News media are said to have agenda-setting power, because these editorial decisions set the terms of public conversation and debate.

  7. Other factors that shape the news • The editorial process at news organizations can also be influenced by: • Ownership and political leanings – Some news organizations have editorial priorities that can be considered left-leaning or right-leaning. These priorities can influence how stories are selected and told. • Audience – News organizations are also brands. Story selection can be driven by an idea of what an audience wants to see, or desire to reach a certain type of audience. • Channels/formats – The news selection often supports the format. Television news relies on visual narratives, which is why you see more car accidents than policy discussions on the evening news.

  10. Evidence of editorial priorities • Editorials – Articles that express the opinion of the editorial staff/editorial board/owner. They are separate and distinct from news articles or pages. • Story selection and placement – Which stories are published and which are selected for the front page or top of the homepage. • Choice of investigative stories – Each news organization selects important issues or interesting leads that it wants to explore and examine more deeply.
