The link to this news article is below:



I have taken this news article from BBC News. It talks about polices £20,000 reward for information about the person responsible for the attempted murder of 32-year-old Haroon Hussain in Plaistow. 

Following up reading the story, I have analyzed it and found the 5W's

5W's

What: Police have announced a £20,000 reward for released information following footage of two murder suspects shooting a father-of-two before fleeing
Where: Plaistow

These news values dictate the importance of this news story:

News Values 
Familiarity: This event happend geographically close to us in London, West Ham
Frequency: Shootings/murders are very frequent events to be recorded 
Impact: This story can be identified as having a profound effect on our own lives as it contains elements that would make us feel threatened. For example, after reading this article people may feel too frightened to be walking around this area at night time, in case they get shot
Negativity: This story is bad news as it involves the attempted murder of someone
Personalisation: This is a human interest story, as the article states how the man who was almost murdered is a father of 2 
Scandal: This story is likely to provoke moral outrage from parts of the audience as they may begin to argue that street crime is becoming to common, and police aren't tackling it fast enough. For instance, Police should be having to provide money incentives in order to gain information about 2 criminals
Surprise: The fact that the attempted murder was caught on camera is a surprise
