What is Newsworthy

Blast in Chinese Coal Mine Kills 17   11/20
Timing 4/4
The timing was good I marked it 4/4 because it was posted at 1am October 5th and the accident happent on yesterday and it does not give a excact time.

Significance 2/4
I gave this a low mark because only 17 people died out of 39 people affected which is not gonna affect most of China.
Proximity 1/4
I marked this soo low because of the fact that the Chinese coal mine would not really affect any of us Canadiens unless they are close friends of distant family that worked in the mines.

Prominence 2/4
I gave this a 2 because of a fact that that unless a famous person worked there because China is known for its unsafe mine working conditions which they are trying to improve.

Human Interest 2/4
I gave this a 2 because of the fact that the article gives that there is an annual of 7000 fatatlities which is only a third of what it used to be, so if this happent more often then less people would care about accidents that happent.

Mogadishu Bomb Blast Kills at Least 70 People  20/20
Timing 4/4
The timing was good because the bombing happent yesterday and the time of the article posten was yesterday October 4th.

Significance 4/4
I gave this a good mark because it killed 70 people and 43 are wounded in this bombing. Alot of Somalia is affected by random suacide bombing annually.

Proximity 4/4
Since the article says Al-Queda took responsibility for the bombing it would affects most parts of the world because of the damage they have done over the years such as bombing embassays and other bombings or extreme violence.

Promince 4/4
Once again Al-Queda is famous for their bombings and almost every country knows the terrorist group of Al-Queda.

Human Interest 4/4
The human interest would be great in this article because of 9/11 by terrorist and other terrorist attacks arround the world which would get more people interested in what they will do next.

Taliban suspects tortured, UN report says: Beatings, electric shocks used in Afgan-run detention centures
Timing 3/4 I gave this a 3 because it does not say the date that these incidents happens but gave informations of times this was suspected before

Significance 2/4 this article does not affect very many people except for the talibans tortured and the reputation of the Afgan police and their ways of getting informations.

Proximity 1/4 I gave this a low mark because its not really near us and does not have anything to do with Canada except for the act the the UN took.

Promince 4/4 I gave this a 4 because taliban terrorist are always popular in the news because they usually have comitted crime of bombings in public areas.

Human Interest 3/4 I gave this a high mark because alot of people read the things in news on terrorist to find what happened and yet some people do not really care what other people do in the world.
