The reason the 23rd April is being talked about on social media is because its st georges day and the first ever world book day was celebrated.

News values are a group of rules or criteria which determine how much attention a media outlet such as a newspaper gives a news story. They also show how editors and other journalists decide that one piece of information is news while another is not.

The 12 news values categories include:

• Negativity - This is the bad news such as death, murder, bad weather, This is rated as more important than "positivity" such as but not limited to weddings, royal family, celebrations.
• Closeness to home (Proximity) - This is what the audiences seem to relate to. The stories that involve people in their country or things that are happening near them geographically. 
• Recency - this is how recent it happened and how quickly that news outlets respond to it and get the news to the public. This includes 24 hour news channels such as BBC and CNN. 
• Currency - This is the opposite to Recency as currency is a news story that has been in the public eye for some time. For example a missing person or a murder. 
• continuity - This is the news coverage of a situation that is on going such as a war or a sports tournament. A current example of this is the Covid 19 lockdown this is in the news everyday.
• Uniqueness - This is when an unusual event occurs such as a three headed child birthed by a 16 year old women. This would be very unusual which would intrigue audiences and make them want to read it. 
• Simplicity - This is the news thats obvious but true. Its news that can be easily explained for example a cat stuck in a tree. 
• Personality - This when a news story surrounds a particular person. Newspapers like these especially if the person is well known such as a well known local person or a well known celebrity.
• Expectedness (predictability) - This is whether or not the event matches the expectations of the organisation and or the audience. 
• Elite nations or people - This is news that is about the nation and offers more importance to the nation than other news.
• Exclusivity - This is when one news outlet is covering a story. The Sunday papers are very fond of exclusives.
• Size - This is about how big the story is, meaning how important it is to the public. How many people it affects.
