News Values

1. Conflict
2. The article that I chose relates to the reason "conflict" because it is about a man who kindly offered money and wise words of help to young Muslims who were willing to fight in Syria and Somalia, or to cause trouble in Europe. This is a "conflict" because this man believed in harming others as he was part of an internet group who wrote helpful guides on how to fight and travel with ISIS. He has now been arrested.
3. A Brussels Mentor Who taught 'Gangster Islam' to the Young and Angry

1. Timeliness
2. This article is considered "timeliness" because it is about the time efficient matter of a missing sailor who has to be found before he dies. There are most likely lots of updates on the search for this sailor since the search "continues" and is an article that is insignificant once the sailor is found.

2. This article relates to "human interest" because it is about an NFL star taking an autistic teen to prom which pulls at the emotional heart strings since the popular football player did it out of kindness. Having a disability is probably very hard and while many people see disabled people as different, the football star takes the time to make this disabled girl feel special.
