COMMENTARY BY MEREDITH D. CLARK
It’s Time For A New Set Of News Values
University of North Texas professor Meredith D. Clark: “If you had the opportunity to build a news organization from the ground up, what would you include? What would you do differently? I’d build a new foundation by reconfiguring an old one: our news values. There is no substitute for truth, accuracy and the timely delivery of relevant news. But for companies that serve hyperlocal, niche, specialty and digitally based audiences, there are unspoken, and perhaps unquestioned values that should be discussed.”
