For our very first Action Project as seniors in our Humanities journalism class we explored the news values. News values is what dictates any news source whether it be an impact, proximity, immediacy, or conflict. As we looked at several newspapers from different times we were able to get a wide range of perspectives on how much of an impact it has. In order for us to understand what it takes to write story like so we had to learn how to spot fake news and certain vocabulary words that intel if the newspaper is biased based or opinion based. For this action project we were given the freedom to choose a story of our choice and write about it. I chose to write a news article using impact as my news values. I had researched and interviewed one of Chicago's icons to let Chicagoans and myself no more about the man we see preaching on State Street. I hope you enjoy!
