What makes the news, news? Tonight was the first time I’ve watched NBC Nightly News. Lester Holt hosted this showing. The first story that was broadcasted in this was about President Donald Trump and North Korea. This first thing, in my opinion, was the value of conflict. If North Korea is testing a new rocket, we don’t know what is going to happen next which would be a huge conflict for us and U.S. population.
Another story that NBS shared was a story with the title of, “Murders Raise Alarm for Transgender Community.” This story would have a few values, and they would be, timeliness so we could do something about it now rather than later. Human interest because it affects not only this neighborhood but also people all over the country that are also transgender and lastly is would be impacted because of how much it would have a bearing on a whole group of individuals rather than just one.
The last story that Lester Holt talked about was a story about a tree. It brought together a whole community of people together to relate about one thing. This tree has given people hope, peace, and just a place where they can sit and think. This story value would have to be human interest and impact because it was affected a whole community and changed others’ lives and have become a tradition for some families. This story value is also proximity. The tree is because of where it’s located it could be near someone’s house and impact them.
