I chose this video because somebody obviously raised this kid right, my faith in humanity is restored. This made me so sad and happy at the same time. The element of news is emotion.

I chose this video because the title caught my attention and made me really want to hear about the young boys story. The element of this video is emotion, drama.

Alyssa's choice

Alyssa  chose this video because it was one of the more touching ones about a teen taking responsibility for his fathers wrongdoing. The boy in this video was mature for his age and expressed immense courageousness. He did the right thing when his supposed-to-be role model couldn’t. I know what it’s like to be in debt and the pressure of doing the right thing over the easy thing so I really appreciated the generosity displayed in this clip. The element of newsworthiness is emotion.

I chose this video because it looked like an intriguing video that had a great story. This video is about a woman who feels that she is nothing special, yet since she cannot have children herself, she has adopted one child, and is fostering two more. The elements of newsworthiness in this video include emotion, and oddity. 

Allison Moss

This is Xiao Hua Yu, a young woman in the town of Chengdu in China. In this video, it tells of her past, a sad story that was defined by being terribly poor, the lowest of lows. It also speaks of her rise to power in an uplifting fashion, eventually owning her own multimillion dollar company. As a young woman not defined by China's traditional idea that only men can be successful, this would be an Oddity, due to the fact that Xiao divorced her husband because she felt his condescending mindset wasn't what she deserved.

I picked this video because I thought Steve did a good job asking the father questions about the sickness, and because I thought it ended with a strong and unique message. What makes this video newsworthy is the powerful emotion behind it; the person interviewed attempts to make his Dad forget about his sickness by winning a wrestling tournament.
