Recent events have higher news value than earlier happenings. Of particular value are stories
brought to the public ahead of the competition.

This news released at that moment, if any news channel or newspaper does not release this
news at that time the credibility of the news become low.

and situations in one's home community are more newsworthy than events that take place far

issues or topics that are in the spotlight of public concern rather than to issues or topics about
which people care less. Stories come and stories go. People wait for follow up.
FOR EXAMPLE: People are waiting for the follow up that Mir hazar khan bijarani and her wife
shot dead or they made suicide.
