- Pragmatics - ethics, current affairs

During this lecture we learnt a very important moto in the journalism industry;
If it bleeds it leads!
If it's local it leads!
This moto means that if the story has something to do with bleeding ie. war, shootings etc., then the story will lead but also if the story is local IT will lead.
Newsworthiness
'"A sense of news values" is the first quality of editors - they are the "human sieves of the torrent of news", even more important than an ability to write or a command language.' (Harold Evans - "The college of Osmosis")
