Linking my journalism piece to news value theory (1965)
My journalism piece will be about the effects that social media has had on Formula 1 in the UK. My story will be mainly positive with some constructive criticism as Formula 1 has been the fastest growing sport on social media throughout 2017 beating the likes of NBA and the premier league.
My story will link in with the Galthung and Ruge theory as my story will be about the effects in the UK, so it will be close to home and will appeal to other people in the UK.
My story will follow the currency value as my story is about how Formula 1 has changed its social media game over the year and for how it will change in the future, so my story will remain relevant for a long time and will be revisited multiple times months later.
My story will also follow the elite nations value which is also a part of the theory as my story will be about the effects in the UK. The United Kingdom is a powerful country recognised worldwide so any news that is featured about this country will be talked about by the news as the news like to spread news about bigger countries in the world.
My story will not follow the exclusivity theory as other news companies have reported the success in Formula 1’s marketing as they have been the fastest growing Sport brand throughout 2017 and in 2018, they are still growing in their social media following on multiple platforms.
