Why do some stories make the news while others don’t?

Journalists consider several factors when deciding which stories to pursue and how much attention to give them. Timeliness, impact, proximity, prominence, conflict, and human interest can all play a role in determining what makes a story newsworthy. Of course, there’s rarely a simple formula. Strong journalism also requires judgment, context, and an understanding of what matters to the communities being served. 💬We’d love to hear from you: What makes you stop and pay attention to a news story? #AtlantaPressClub #Journalism #AtlantaMedia #GeorgiaMedia #NewsMedia #MediaLiteracy
