The concepts of news values was created by Galtung and Ruge. News values are used by the people creating the news to test whether a story is 'news worthy'. They test the story with the characteristics, immediacy, familiarity, amplitude, frequency, predictable, surprise, continuity, elite nations and elite people, personalisation, conflict, negativity, balance.
The use immediacy to check to see if the story is news worthy, if the story has happened recently, then the story fits the immediacy category.
If the story is an event that is a regular happening- one that crops up every year, then the story fits the frequency category.
If the story fits the conflict category, then it should have conflict between two people/groups of people within the story.
The concepts of treatment values is the visuals, the drama, saga, conflict, human interest and actuality. This concept was created by Burton in 1990.
These six treatment values make the story more interesting and makes the story good reading or viewing for the audience.
The visuals help do this because these are the visual images that are placed into the story. These allow the audience to see more of the story from the images, and it also helps break up the text if it is a reading story.
The human interest value makes the stories more interesting as they add a human angle in the story, such as having an eye witness account of what happened. This makes the story more interesting because it makes it seem more real.
