The classic framework.You should also theatrical role at least one of the following evaluationsBell A. (1991) The row of News Media, Blackwell, p.155-161.INTRODUCTION Johan Galtung and Marie Holmboe Ruge (1965) finished their empirical explore and theoretical snuggle on the amazes of password value defined it as specific standards adhered to by media professionals in the structuring , pickaxe and production of watchword show stories ex penditurey of sketching to the hearing by word of honor reporter, journalist, and broadcasting media professionals also as a general guidelines and criteria that determines the worth of intelligence agency and how much prominence is given by compositions, radio, or television reporters. News set argon based on a var. of ideas or assumption which form the ideological background to the work of editors, reporters and journalist (Bell,1991).The way in which tidings is report is heavily reliable, and dependent on the intelligence providers cognitive operationing , structuring and coverage of the word of honor content to the sense of hearing through intelligence activitypapers, television, and radio broadcast medium. News set practices both globally and topically sack up be analyzed alongside Galtung and Ruges (1967) poseur of watchword value providing nationwide insight to the intentions of the news media industry and their relevance in contemporary news culture pract ices today both in the acresal and worldwide news media as inform in the news by these journalist, reporters and media professionals reservation stories that ar newsworthy.Galtung and Ruges mystify is truly straight and comprehensive in its research and academic thoughts on how news are being structured , save non without criticism from former(a) emerging scholars and academia on how pertinent these news values can affect different media professionals, reporters, and journalist at heart in the inter field scene of contemporary news reporting, structuring and production in the media news values culture .In a recent study, Cohen Young,(1973) Galtung and Ruges seats, own also supported and complemented these news values ideology involved in the structure and cream of news and its values making it newsworthy for the earshot and readership. There are fundamentals to understanding news production and the choices that editors, producers and other journalists face in decisi on making on what news values seems more than news worthy than another thereby making the media professionals liable for(p) in accounting for the way the news are structured with contingent reference to the news values ethical standards, norms and guides in the ideology of model of news values on journalism. Journalist have taken this epitome as a starting point and developed from it a set of principles that should affaird in calling newsworthy data.Bell (1991) illustrates Galtung and Ruge news values and intervention on the processes involved in the structuring, indicateation and selection news stories report by journalist. These basic twelve news values provide a structural basis for journalists to report stories that are newsworthy to audience ensuring they ad righteous with these ethics. In Galtung and Ruges model, if the news values are adhered to, the legend will be successful in reaching, and keeping the public informed and update is generally based on the psycho logy of perception by the audience, and argues that audiences receive news stories through these factors referred to as the news values which the reporters, journalist and editors are responsible on making these news informative, entertaining in capturing their reside on the way news are consumed. Galtung and Ruge recognised that throng cannot absorb very large sum totals of news and information, they are choices of selection involved in the information and in doing so only select what seems essential and of avocation to them. It is in this process that journalists and news organization, professionals select and report information to appeal to its main(prenominal) consumers and readership. These news values now come into place, with news producers structuring the news reported around these values to achieve the greatest interest and impact in ensuring it close ins the interest of audience. (CohenYoung, 1973)Galtung and Ruges twelve news values can also be sub-divided , these news values includes the main basic eight universally accepted and the four which he termed can be heathenly specific by media reports and journalist as a general factors consisting of frequency, amplitude, unambiguity, meaningfulness, consonance, unexpectedness, continuity,while the other four factors negativity, threshold, pagan proximity are based on the cultural specification go awaying from national and internationalist source of news processing, selection, and structuring involved in the detail of news making and the worthiness of the news values . What we choose or select as news stories could be culturally determined, since the audience and readers cannot pull together every news content, there is a choice of selection on individualistic differences, and the probability on how the issues in questions will attract a readers attention or listener (CohenYoung, 1973). These values provide journalists with a appliance to sort through quickly, process and select the news from that vast amount of information made available. have taken this analysis as a starting point and developed from it a set of principles that journalists should use to identify newsworthy information.Although Galtung and Ruge model was researched over thirty years ago, it still stay the most adaptable and acceptable news values model until present day in news making and journalism. Most media analysis or discourse of news values will refer to most of Galtung and Ruges categorisation of news values despite the criticism from other academic scholars and schools of thought, which provides the ideology that important stories which scores senior high schoolly on each value are likely to become the newspaper advertise news bulletin, or make the movement page of a newspaper stories or television broadcast. Also it is important to note that these news values factors were more implemented by reporters, journalist and media producers in the Hesperian and scandinavian countries of Gal tung and Ruges model in the structure, selection and reporting of news content which will be critically evaluated from my point of view, though these news values being the dominant model ,it still varies from other national and international news reports, media broadcasting ideologies being practiced crossways other parts of the globe outside the western countries and north American hemisphere. According to other schools of thought by journalism and media scholars there is no end to lists of news criteria (p. 31). Among the many lists of news values that have been cadaverous up by scholars and journalists, some like Galtung and Ruges news values model attempts to describe news practices across cultures, while others have become unusually specific to the press of certain (often western) nations (http//en.wikipedia.org/wiki/News_values). Presently, virtually every media discourse and analytic discussion of news values will refer to most of Galtung and Ruges model of news values mo dels.In critically evaluating Galtung and Ruges twelve models of news values, a British newspaper editorial will be used in citing as a devout evaluation analysis on how these news values conjecture relates to present day processes of selection and structuring of news by editors , reporters, journalist and media professional in contemporary cabaret and its criticism in properly analyzing the realities with reference to Britain newspaper indoors the western media consideration, and the news values critically evaluated in both foreign and local news media context on how these news values are being implemented for audience interest.SUN NEWSPAPER CRITICAL EVALUTION OF GALTUNG AND RUGE MODELIn the cheerfulness news paper edition of Thursday, December 17, 2009 with the caption headline JOES GOT FRIENDS IN risque PLACES illustrates the selection process of newsworthy media text by these newspaper editors to attract the audience readers with such a caption, Galtung and Ruges model a nalyses the need for inter- relationship of how these news values are being implemented by the news reporters, editors in making the overhaul reckon page trading floor which relates to the way news reporting are selected, structured and presented to suit the basic norms and ethics channelise the news values processes in media industry.Cohen Young (1981, pg56) states that structuring and selection of news stories can be highlighted with these news values that the more events concerns elect persons and elite nations use makes a good newsworthy reputation in the selection process of the manufacturing of news stories. The nominal head end page tip stratum news headline involves the news values model of elite person and the elite nation with augustties of the government is being implemented by the news editor in making it a headline caption will be more of interest concerning global powers and the impact of the news with relevance on how these news may affect on the home cul ture and the lives of the people with the national context and specifically on the culture will definitely be the main interest of attention to the readership audience making it newsworthy survive wait page story. The news values of meaningfulness with the audience who share kindred values, culture and ideology will make a good interest point and receive more media coverage which the lead page story of the editorial highlights and the hypothesis of continuity which the story been very accessible to the audience will definitely be included by the reporters in the selection process of the news, making it attractive to audience readership. Galtung and Ruges model that when a news seems to be very important to the audience and still running in media will be of great importance and continued to be cover by reporters for some time.(BellBells (1991) evaluation of Galtung and Ruge news values model states that the debut of a story enhances its chances of being news worthy for audience. The reference to elite person, and elite nation highlighted in the front page headline lead story of the newspaper and the news decision by editors, confirms with the news values ethics of western media industry in implementing these news model making it very favourable news within the competitive market of news media industry in ensuring the news gets to the audiences. The famous and powerful in the society are being treated of being of more importance which the front page story tends to capture as a newsworthy story and how their decision and action can affect peoples life, which is portrayed with the activities of such elite activity and its importance in making a good news from the journalist ideology of news values in contemporary western news culture, because it combines the publics supposed interest with the famous and elite activity in the news within the cultural proximity of Britain which makes it a newsworthy story.Gatlung and Ruges news values of meaningfulness inter rel ates in the front page story simile of the event with the hypothesis of the relevance of these news affecting the lives of the people within the cultural proximity.(Bell,1991) The unambiguity news value model illustrated by Bell, states that the more clear cut a story is, the more it is favoured (Bell,1991) .But critically evaluating these model in the front page lead story on the Sun newspaper editorial , it can be critically evaluated that the editorial take might not be of interest to someone outside the cultural proximity or geographical context of Britain, and the non -western media axis, from readers in another soil and will not attract readership interest based on individual perception within the international and foreign news media context, and may vary from different norms and guides considering the news values and cultures on how reporters and journalist, editors in other non-western countries may structure, select and produce their news stories in contemporary news cul ture and journalism.Galtung and Ruges hypothesis of frequency in the lead story being the royal hierarchy in britain is a point of interest and attention to readers from the reporters and editors execution of instrument of the news story making it a news headline front page story with the impact of the news headlines relating to the meaningfulness of the event, relevance in the lives of the people and the cultural proximity of the british audiences within the national scene, and journalist selection and production of these news stories. In critically evaluating Galtung and Ruges model on the front page story of the Sun Newspaper editorial, it can be evaluated that the use of news codes which the model pays little or no attention to with use of language in the front page story news with the use of photographs was very visible, and also being a newspaper editorial not all aspects of the news values are being captured by these medium. interim these news values model still remains the most comprehensive school of thought on media and journalism in western countries media on the news information selection and structuring by media reporters, and editors within international news and national news (Cohen Young, 1973). The ideology of the news values model of these front page stories concentrates on the holders of semipolitical power not holder of the frugal power within the news values. The criticism of these lead page story also centres on some news values model which it flatly states are responsible for the news ,but they are complex issues involved in news making than theSECOND FRONT PAGE LEAD yarn CRITICAL EVALUATION. OF GALTUNG AND RUGE MODEL.The frequency news value hypothesis as evaluated by Bells (1991) in the content of the news states that the best news is something which has only just happened making it definitely to be news worthy for attracting audience interest and readership, The more similar the frequency of the event to the news medium, the mor e likely that it will be recorded as a news(CohenYoung, 1981). The sub- heading editorial on the front page headline new story with duration on the second page lead story also has the junto of various news values which are inter- related in ensuring the news editors make a complete and interesting process involved in news selection, structuring to suit the audience. The news values of negativity in the newspaper highlights the editors approach of making the information of concern and interest which seems a Galtung and Ruges model in evaluating these news values model shown with the second page lead story YOUNG N DOLED in the editorial with an emerging pip on the issues concerns the hypothesis of threshold which hold that the bigger the impact of the story and its relevance on the people , the better it make a good story relates in these second page editorial on the earnestness and will be of interest to audience with such caption headline news making it newsworthy. Galtung and r uges news values of meaningfulness shows that the audience will be attracted to such news , as an event which seems to affect the lives of the audiences seems more relevance as being newsworthy. The cultural proximity of Britain and the impact on how it affects all the people will enhance its newsworthiness to the audience within the international news media agenda. In Bells evaluation on these news values, the negativity hypothesis makes the second page story very understanding on the news selection process by the editors on how the journalist and editor sour the news content and making it very interesting good news process of structuring, selection and presentation to its reading audience. Though the news has a short fall in the consonance, and composition news values model which doesnt make it a complete news values report by journalism ethics and the reports maybe biased, and inaccurate as a political propaganda by political opponents. Bell (1991) states that negativity news va lues makes the black-tie norm of news reporting from historical perspective, that bad news makes a good news story which journalist argue with Galtung and Ruges model of news value and its very conflicting that what attracts audience interest is bad news in media reporting, which seems illustrated in the second page lead story news caption. Bad news stories are more likely to be reported than good news because they are more likely to score high on other news values, such as threshold, unexpectedness, unambiguity and meaningfulness .Thomas(2009)Galtung and Ruges news values with the hypothesis of threshold holds an important issue in the seriousness of the news article and situation affecting the lives of the people. The process involved in the organization, selection and presentation of these news stories from the editors although analysis by J. Galtung and M. Ruge showed that several factors are consistently applied across a range of news organizations on how best these makes up a good news story to the audience.
