The link to this news article is below:


This sports story, taken from BBC sports, is about Jonothan Davies who is a famous welsh rugby player. The article talks about his foot injury, which has unfortunately led to him having to miss playing in the rest of the season.

I have analysed the news article, in order to find the 5W's and the news values. Below is what I found:

What: Has to get kicked out from playing in the rest of the season 
Why: Suffered from a severe foot injury and now needs surgery

News values

Frequency: sports injuries, effecting players in big sports teams, are often featured in news articles. 

Predictability: Audiences could have predicted this to happen because sports injuries, especially in games like Rugby, are very common as it is a dangerous sport. 

Elite people: This news story involves well known sports celebrities, i.e. Jonothan Davies. Therefore, injuries which happen to people such as Jonothan, could have a bad effect on fans. 

Negativity: This article counts as bad news, as too fans Jonothan being kicked out of playing for the rest of the season could have a negative effect on the whole rugby teams overall success.
