News Values and the Vividness of Information.
Kennamer, J. David
Written Communication, v5 n1 p108-123 Jan 1988
Claims that the long list of traditionally accepted news values can be replaced with a single concept, vividness, and that vivid information may not be the best information. Blames much of the alleged deficiencies associated with journalistic practice such as sensationalism and preoccupation with conflict on the journalistic practice of writing to enhance or create vividness.
