The value of news is magnified by two more elements: unusualness and fame. Let’s simplify things with the acronym SiLoBaTi + UnFa. This convenient way to remember the main ingredients of news
is made up of the first two letters of each of the elements: significance, localness, balance and timeliness, plus unusualness and fame.
