Useful Video on Newsworthiness

I found this really useful clip on YouTube. It does about 5 mins on newsworthiness and is just right for GCSE although no reason why you couldn’t use it for AS either. It’s American and you might not like the voice over or teach kids who think they must laugh at anyone who differs from them, but my lot seemed happy enough with it. Just slightly cheesy point at the end about writing whatever you like, so I guess it must be aimed at some variety of journalism students.
