elements of news

Prominence
Some big new that’s been in magazines lately is that Chris Brown was arrested for domestic violence to Rihanna, his girlfriend. The violence took place in Chris’s Lamborghini while he was driving home from a party. Supposedly, Rihanna took Chris Brown’s phone to see if he was texting some girl and Chris starting beating her in the car while it being in motion.

Conflict
The Austin Police are looking for a guy who robbed at 4 four business’s at gunpoint. He committed two robberies last night. They have not caught the guy yet.

Proximity

It was talking about the staff and student issues with the new tardy sweeps. The students are complaining about the new tardy saying that it’s not fair for the ones who have only been tardy one time. The Akins staff likes these sweeps though because the number of students being tardy has dropped a lot.

Consequence
Lately, I have been getting of task a lot lately in class and not doing my work. This affects only me, causing my grades to drop pretty badly.

Human Interest
There’s been a story that pretty much everyone has heard about, the girl who was burned alive on Mardi gras night. It is a very sad event that I hope had not taken place. They have yet to find her killer, but I hope they are coming close each and every hour.
Oddity
A women reportedly called 911 a whooping three complaining that her local McDonald’s had run out of chicken McNuggets. The women stated that she paid for her nuggets and wanted to get her money back since they didn’t have them but was told by the cashier that she couldn’t get her money back. The lady was charged for misuse of a 911 call.

Timeliness

300 Africans including women and children are feared to have drowned after their boats capsized off Libya, part of a new upsurge of illegal migration to Europe, officials said on Tuesday.
