Hello brothers and sisters! Welcome back to my blog.
Many things in the world can be considered newsworthy, so there is an important thing to determine the category of the news to make the news is not to board. It is news value. According to Harcup & O'Neill, news value helps journalists to prevent making ambiguous news and event. In this case, take two examples from The Jakarta Post.
The first news is "India virus cases cross 5 million in 'worse than sci-fi' pandemic". This news has several news values in it. They are the power elite, surprise, bad news, magnitude, and relevance.

In the news, COVID in India is a serious disease. It involves India's elite government, India medical personnel, and WHO too. These are three huge organizations that want to prevent the COVID outbreak.
The COVID outbreak in India is also surprising. The virus spread faster, and millions of people are infected in there only in 11 days.
This kind of news is considered bad news. Who is happy, when the entire world is fighting with the virus?
The news also relevant to nowadays issues, the COVID outbreak, and not only Indians but many people in the world are concerns with this topic, so the news completes both magnitude and relevance in the news values.
The second news is "FIFA estimates Covid-19 will cost global soccer $11 billion".
The news values in this news are the power elite, bad news, magnitude, and relevance.
