The 7 News Values in the news

Timeliness:

APD to honor Boy Scout who came to man’s aid

 http://www.statesman.com/news/news/crime-law/apd-to-honor-boy-scout-who-came-to-mans-aid/nXHpD/

I believe this article is driven by timeliness because it just happened and it came at a good time.

Proximity:

Possible shooting reported in South Austin

http://www.statesman.com/news/news/crime-law/possible-shooting-reported-in-south-austin/nXHTG/

I believe this article is driven by proximity because it is close to where I live so I would be someone who would be reading this article. 

 Prominence:

5 things Anthony Weiner and his wife have to say

http://www.usatoday.com/story/onpolitics/2013/04/10/anthony-weiner-huma-abedin-new-york-times-interview/2070523/

I believe this article is driven by prominence because it has to do with someone who has been in the news before and was a prominent US representative.

Impact:

Hurricane forecast: Above-average Atlantic season

http://www.usatoday.com/story/weather/2013/04/10/2013-atlantic-hurricane-season-forecast-colorado-state/2067953/

I believe this article is driven by impact because since hurricane season is coming around a lot of people are very fearful about how things are really going to look when it comes to the weather.

Conflict:

South Korea and U.S. Gird for Missile Test by North Korea

http://www.nytimes.com/2013/04/11/world/asia/north-korea-missile.html?ref=world&_r=0

This is a story of conflict because it shows that there is still tension between North and South Korea.

Human Interest:

One dead, one injured in East Austin shootings

http://www.statesman.com/news/news/crime-law/one-dead-and-another-injured-in-northeast-austin-s/nXHXB/

This is a story of human interest because it has to do with people dying in an area that a lot of conflict happens.

Novelty:

Reward offered in drive-by shooting of circus elephant

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/04/10/circus-elephant-drive-by-shooting-reward/2070443/

This story is driven by novelty because it's not everyday that you hear about a circus elephant being killed in a drive-by shooting. 

 

 

 

 

Lenses and Photography Vocabulary

I would use a telephoto lens when you have a large landscape area and you're trying to focus on the small details and you have bright lighting.

I would use a prime lens where you have low light and where you want to have fine details.

I would use a wide-angle lens when I have a lot to fit into a frame, like a big group picture.
