  • Threshold: (Hyperbole of statement)
  • Unambiguity: Hard Facts. Ed Sheeran has 9 singles in top 20
  • Meaninfulness and newsworthiness: I would click on it because it looks interesting, real life

  • Consonance (Agreement of ideology)
  • Unexpectedness: Cheryl and Liam having a baby together weird wouldnt think they would stay togeteher because of massive age gap
  • Refernces to Elites: politicans, Royal family, musicians., actors, reality tv stars, local celebs, governement officals locals
  • Personalisation: Journalists try to link content to audience- might use rhetorical questions
  • Negativity: Something bad in the news like a killing etc
