Me and my group looked at this article together about 3 young girls (shown in the picture) campaigning for female rights globally. This issue is very important as this year celebrities such as Beyonce, Miley Cyrus, Lorde, Emma Watson and more have come out naming themselves as 'feminists'. So with influence like that this story sparks an interests to those not only passionate about the campaign but who also follow in the celebrities footsteps.
This story would suggestively appeal to young people - especially girls - as the graffiti in the background is a form of art to young girls and boys. Especially in the East End which is where this story is held. Graffiti is usually seen negatively by people because it associates with 'hoodlums' and 'trouble-makers', but the use of it here in this article with this inspiring story shows that it isn't just vandalism but more of a symbol of the youth.
The news value used here is proximity and human interest. The story was mentioned in the 'East End Life' which is a local newspaper in East London. This is more likely to gain interest in local girls as the younger generation have limited knowledge on what goes on around the world. Because the event is nearby there are open opportunities for people to get involved.
The topic of this story which is about girls and women being subjected to their rights is sensitive as it may affect people in the local area so this shows the news value of human interest.
From this i have learnt to get my target audience interested in my stories i have to consider these news values as being a young person myself I found this particular article interesting and worthy to read because of the topic, proximity and the people involved which are mainly young.
