Which story first? — Story Desk · Free Press

Nes edits the invented Vila Nova Gazette. Three things happened today and there's room for one front-page story. Help her choose and plan it.

Your task

Make the best choices.

Editors weigh how many people are affected, how new it is, how close it is and whether readers need to act.
Invented newsrooms and stories to learn from, not real news. Before sharing anything about real people, ask a trusted adult.
Never share private details of anyone. Nothing about you is collected.

Score

How news works — You understood how this part of journalism works.
Truth & accuracy — You checked the facts before telling them.
Fair & kind — You were fair to the people in the story.

In real life

Real world: news values such as impact, timeliness and proximity are taught in journalism courses; they're guides, not strict rules.
