The news value 'timeliner' is said to be in which kind of story ?

  • A.One that stresses events that have occurred in the last month
  • B.One that stresses events that occurred today or yesterday
  • C.One that has been written within the last six hours
  • D.One that has been read or written within the last six hours

Answer: B

The timeliness value is in a story that stresses events that occurred today or yesterday.

Timeliness (printed 'timeliner') is the news value of recency: news is about what has just happened, and the fresher the event, the stronger its claim to space. A daily paper therefore stresses events of the past day or so.

Events of the last month are too old to be news on timeliness alone. The other two options measure when the story was written or read, not when the event happened, which is what timeliness concerns, so a story written in the last six hours about an old event has no claim to it.
