Negativity The 9/11 coverage fits the Negativity news value because it involves death and tragedy on a large scale. It also doesn't just affect a small group of people, it has a more global impact. Closeness to home
The London Bombings fits the closeness to home value because the 'attacks' were carried out in local areas of London, close to the homes of the majority of their audience. Immediacy
The story clearly fits the Immediacy news value as it was live footage of a case unfolding, meaning the people who were watching would have known the verdict and sentence as soon as it happened. Simplicity
The story of the avalanche on Mount Everest fits the Simplicity news value because there are no controversial or debatable causes to this.
Uniqueness
The story fits the uniqueness value because it is an unusual story that no-one had heard about before and it has a good quality video to support it. Elite nations or people
The story fits the elite nations or people value because if something like this had happened in a 'less important' country it would not have made news in another country, however this story is from the US therefore exposes the fact that they only focus on stories on important people or places.
