	liibulletin: Messenger v. Gruner (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		Where a photograph bears a real relationship to a newsworthy article and is not an advertisement in disguise, a Plaintiff may not recover under New York Civil Rights Law §§ 50 and 51, regardless of any false impression created by the use of the photo.
		The Court noted that this "newsworthiness exception" is to be broadly construed and is to be determined solely based on the content of the article.
		In this case, however, the Court held that where a plaintiff's picture is used to illustrate an article on a matter of public interest, there is no liability under §§ 50 and 51 unless the picture either bears no real relationship to the article or the article is an advertisement in disguise.

		Defendant provided promotional materials that included the 1978 videotape to various television programs, but the act of publication with regard to which the newsworthiness exception is invoked is the subsequent airing of portions of the promotional materials by these television programs, as part of their shows.
		The latter use (distributing the promotional video) does not fall within the newsworthiness exception merely because some media outlets subsequently made an independent decision that the launch of the vintage jeans lines was newsworthy and aired clips of the promotional video.

	Shulman v. Group W Productions (Part 2)
		Newsworthiness -- constitutional or common law -- is also difficult to define because it may be used as either a descriptive or a normative term.
		If "newsworthiness" is completely descriptive -- if all coverage that sells papers or boosts ratings is deemed newsworthy -- it would seem to swallow the publication of private facts tort, for "it would be difficult to suppose that publishers were in the habit of reporting occurrences of little interest." (Id.
		Courts balancing these interests in cases similar to this have recognized that, when a person is involuntarily involved in a newsworthy incident, not all aspects of the person's life, and not everything the person says or does, is thereby rendered newsworthy.

	USCOA, 2 No. 170 Jamie Messenger, an Infant Under the Age of Eighteen v. Gruner + Jahr Printing and Publishing
		Plaintiff conceded these facts but argued that the "newsworthiness" exception did not apply because the column and pictures together created the false impression that plaintiff was the author of the letter.
		Because the photographs illustrated newsworthy articles, because there was a real relationship between the photographs and the articles, and because the articles were not advertisements in disguise, we concluded that none of those plaintiffs stated a Civil Rights Law claim.
		Notably, if the newsworthiness exception is forfeited solely because the juxtaposition of a plaintiff's photograph to a newsworthy article creates a false impression about the plaintiff, liability under Civil Rights Law § 51 becomes indistinguishable from the common law tort of false light invasion of privacy.

	Ethnic and Racial Images in the Media: Black WHite And In Color
		In demonstrating the utility of addressing the intersectionality of gender, race, and class, this study argues that such an approach is necessary to the study of representation.
		Abstract: Previous research suggests that journalists assess the newsworthiness of homicide occurrences using the relative frequency of particular types of murders and how well specific murder occurrences mesh with stereotypical race and gender typifications.
		Newsworthiness as represented by novelty is an incomplete explanation of selection bias.

	Franco Public Relations Group Tips for Newsworthy Stories (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		What may be newsworthy tomorrow could be insignificant in the eyes of editors a month from now.
		The story's newsworthiness value is shaped by what else is going on in the world and how editors rank your development in relation to all the other stories from which they may choose.
		So work to attach newsworthiness characteristics to your story, and it is much more likely to bring you the results you're seeking.

		If you really look at the empirical data, anecdotal evidence, decisions made, etc, without prejudice, bias, or predisposition (such as "the major media is not reporting it, so it must not be significant" - which does not logically follow.), I would fully expect most people to develop the impression that this is something rather news-worthy.
		Should the OH Electoral votes be challenged, or the OH Supreme Court respond in a noteworthy way to the recent lawsuit, or other significant issues arise that are more than testimony and affidavits, etc., then absolutely imho it should be.
		A state Supreme Court case concerning the U.S. Election while not as important as Jacko and Scott Peterson, is still newsworthy IMHO despite it not being one of Bill O'Reilly's talking points.

	Shulman v. Group W Productions (Part 6)
		Worse yet, the new test adopted in the plurality opinion seriously compromises personal privacy by rendering otherwise private facts newsworthy whenever they bear a "logical relationship" to a matter of legitimate public concern, even in situations where the news media obtains the private facts by deceptive and unlawful means.
		Unlike the Kapellas newsworthiness test, which expressly considers both "the depth of the [broadcast' s] intrusion into ostensibly private affairs" and "the extent to which the party voluntarily acceded to a position of public notoriety" as part of the mix (Kapellas, supra, 1 Cal.3d at p.
		As I have explained, a straightforward application of that test demonstrates there are triable issues of material fact on the question of newsworthiness and, hence, that summary judgment should not have been granted on Ruth's cause of action for publication of private facts.

	Categories of Invasion of Privacy (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		California law, for example, requires that a plaintiff must establish that the private fact is not newsworthy, but defines newsworthiness according to a balancing test.
		Newsworthiness depends on the social value of the facts published, the depth of the publication's intrusion into ostensibly private affairs, and the extent to which the party voluntarily assumed a position of public notoriety.
		In addition to facts about the subject's life, the newsworthiness defense may also provide protection for peripheral details tending to explain the subject's conduct and motivation.

	Grade the News
		The preamble of the SPJ Code proclaims that "public enlightenment is the forerunner of justice and the foundation of democracy." Our concept of "newsworthiness" comes from this assumption that journalism's purpose is to advance self-government by highlighting the most important public issues.
		NEWSWORTHINESS is based on two factors: 1) whether the story topic is "core" or "peripheral," and 2) whether the story is likely to have a direct and lasting (six months or more) informational impact on a wide audience (at least 10,000 people).
		Even if many are interested, who ends up on "American Idol" is less likely to affect the quality of our lives over the long run than the state budget crisis, the course of the war in Iraq or even a school board's decision to cut teachers and enlarge class sizes.

	firstamendmentcenter.org: commentary
		If the newspaper or broadcast station that disclosed the private fact were allowed to determine whether the disclosure were newsworthy, no privacy claim ever could be brought.
		Perhaps one approach would be for the Court to adopt a newsworthiness test that follows the constitutional framework established in libel cases.
		Under such a test, judges and juries in disclosure cases involving private persons would determine newsworthiness by asking whether the public had a legitimate interest in the private fact.

		Should the media succumb to such pressure, they might as well move all the newsrooms to party headquarters, like it was when the Democratic Party was nurturing the apartheid propaganda machinery.

		The University administration publicly acknowledged what happened and declared it would not tolerate "such acts of anger and hatred." That statement and Adkins' column raise legitimate questions about whether the administration is doing enough to address what seems to be an ongoing problem.
		The vandalism itself was a minor story (I'm sure Adkins would disagree with me on that point), but it became important when the letter placed it in the larger context of campus race relations.

		Research has suggested that journalists determine whether a news story about murder is newsworthy by assessing how well the event fits in with stereotypical race and gender characteristics.
		This would be useful to someone engaged in research concerning race, ethnicity and media discourse because it provides evidence of the selectivity that goes into treatments of stories pertaining to race, gender and ethnicity.

	Three Ways to Help Reporters See Your Story as News
		At the core of PR Rainmaking is the question: "What makes a story newsworthy?" If we cannot answer this question, then we have nothing to guide us in the selection of story ideas.
		At first, the concept of "newsworthiness" may appear both abstract and subjective.
		The more of these patterns that appear in your story, the more likely the media are to recognize your story as newsworthy.

	Factors in Newsworthiness
		Manzanillo were killed because of a bus or car accident, this would not be nearly as newsworthy as if they died from an earthquake or stings from "killer bees," feared insects that have now invaded the United States.
		The more people involved in a news event, be it a demonstration or a tragic accident, the more newsworthy the story is. Likewise, the number of people affected by the event, whether it's a new health threat or a new tax ruling, the more newsworthy the story is.
		The fact that a car hit a utility pole isn't news, unless, as a consequence, power is lost throughout a city for several hours.

	Author Accuses Media of Intentional Bias Against Guns -- 05/20/2003
		The results were similar for USA Today, which reported 5,660 words on criminal use of guns but no reporting on the use of guns to stop crimes, and the Washington Post, which devoted 46,884 words to the criminal use of firearms and 953 words to their defensive use by law-abiding citizens.
		Paul Waldman, associate director of the Annenberg Public Policy Center at the University of Pennsylvania, said there is "no question there is a bias in media coverage of issues relating to crime and guns," but he argued that the bias is toward newsworthiness, not against guns.
		"Given that something is already newsworthy, why is it that this one particular aspect of the event is left out?" Lott asked.

	Reporting suicides for the media (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-16)
		The answer lies with the newsworthiness of a particular suicide.Suicides that serves little in terms of larger public interest are better left out from the media.
		This shows that the canvas of public interest and newsworthiness of suicides is wide.
		Journalists with such a background might err in not being subtle with suicide reporting, that is, not showing empathy to the victim as well as those on the brink.
