Its importance is that health cuts may cause a loss in support for Obama in the coming election next year. Timeliness because this happenedin the last 2 weeks. Celebrity because it is the president of the united states and he may be facing some trouble in the political department.

      This story was interesting to me because it was about something that doesn't happen very often.  It is newsworthy because of the rare nature of the story.

      This story had timeliness because it was about a game on the same day the story was written on.  It also may have special interest to baseball enthusiasts and human interest because of the almost heartwarming nature of the story.

    Just before 10:30 a.m. Monday, Mariano Rivera walked into the Yankees' clubhouse in street clothes. Less than 15 minutes later he was dressed and ready to go. By 4:30 p.m. he had passed Trevor Hoffman as the major league career leader in saves with 602.
  • Ali M on 20 Sep 11
     
    When it was over, after Rivera had gotten a called third strike against Minnesota's Jason Parmelee to finish a 1-2-3 ninth and preserve a 6-4 victory, and after he had been mobbed by his teammates, his longtime catcher, Jorge Posada, joined with Alex Rodriguez to push Rivera back out to the mound so the crowd could salute him one more time.

      I think this is interesting because I like movies with disasters in them. This article is newsworthy because it is timely, it has prominence, and it is of special interest to those who like movies like this.

    Advanced math and science aren't usually a part of a big Hollywood thriller, particularly one with "Contagion's" cast: not just Winslet and Paltrow but Matt Damon, Jude Law, Laurence Fishburne and Marion Cotillard, along with a cameo by CNN's Dr. Sanjay Gupta. But Burns and director Steven Soderbergh approached the project in an unusually dedicated way.

      This was newsworthy because it is relative to my life. I'm stressing out about college as well.
  • Just because I’m not letting my life revolve around college does not mean I won’t worry about it. It just means that I’m going to do what I love. It means I’m not going to do something that I don’t actually really want to do because I want to get into college

  • If you use Facebook, I’m sure you have been faced with this problem: Someone you meet once requests to be your “friend” on the service, even though you aren’t really “friends.”To help manage this problem, Facebook on Wednesday introduced a “subscription button,” which allows people to subscribe to parts of your news feed without having to become your Facebook friend. The new feature feels very similar to the follow button on Twitter, where you choose to follow someone’s feed.
