The author discusses the role of the media in determining what is considered “newsworthy”, highlighting the role of the gatekeeper effect and the influence of access to news on public opinion. They explain that the media considers factors such as insufficient or unsubstantiated information, competition, budget constraints, publisher influence, proximity, prominence, usefulness, future impact, and the underdog. The author concludes that newsworthiness is not as straightforward as it may seem, and that journalism holds itself to a well-tested criterion of news values to determine a story’s newsworthiness.
