Deciding what’s newsworthy is certainly not an exact science. You must know your audience among other things to decide what to choose. There are several common elements that have been proven over time to be of major influence for you or your agency to consider. I have five of these listed below.

·Timeliness

·Proximity

·Prominence

·Consequence

·Audience Interest
