  Newsworthiness is defined as a subject having sufficient relevance to the public or a special audience to warrant press attention or coverage.
  
  News values seem to be common across cultures. People seem to be interested in news to the extent which it has a big impact, describes conflicts, happens nearby, involves well-known people, and deviates from the norms of everyday happenings. War is a common news topic, partly because it involves unknown events that could pose personal danger.
