News Criteria Analysis Project
In my Copy Editing class the students and I are discussing news. What makes news news?
We are studying the traditional news values. Nine criteria seem to be the expected elements that influence news reporters and editors to cover and include stories in a newspaper or broadcast.
Using the Charleston Post and Courier newspaper from Wednesday, Feb. 6, 2019 I have identified a story or two that fulfills each criteria from the news value checklist. And each report is also identified by its types of story.
Consequence/Impact
President Trump delivered his State of the Union address last night. He covered many topics of national interest and spoke of new initiatives that may have impact on Americans in various way.
This types of news story that this speech could be categorized in would be government and politics.

Snapseed in Just a Snap!
The free Snapseed photo processing app is my favorite tool for giving pictures more pop. A friend in my photography club Carolinas' Nature Photographers Association (CNPA) told me about Snapseed a few years ago and I've come to really like it.
The processing tools I really like to bring in are the high dynamic range or HDR filters. These can truly make images more dynamic with great vibrancy and luminosity. Here are three examples from my recent trip to Chicago:
The HDR effects really work well outside on cloudy days. A little processing in Snapseed and you can produce dramatic images like these:
