News Agenda

The news agenda is the list of stories that have been selected for the newspaper, ranked in order of priority; more important stories are longer and are accompanied by more images.  News values are the same for all news organisations and their audiences, but some organisations will give priority to different news values than others.  E.g., a broadsheet newspaper might give priority to elite nations, but a tabloid newspaper will give priority to personalisation.  For a local newspaper, the most relevant news value will probably be meaningfulness.
