Newsworthiness

Story focus statement: Somebody videotaped a locker room

Significance: It is creepy thinking about possibility being videotaped while at the gym. It is gross that anybody would do that to a child.

Human interest: I don’t think it is has a huge effect of anything but people who go to the gym a lot could be really interested in this. People who have memberships to the YMCA might be worried about things now.

Proximity: This happened in Minnesota near us, so it affects us.

Timing: The videotaping only happen a few days before the story was on the news.

Oddity/Uniqueness: This is a unique story because luckily this doesn’t happen very often.

Prominence: No big important people were involved.
