7 yardsticks of Journalism

In class we learned about the " Seven basic yardsticks of journalism quality" , the seven things we learned about newsworthiness, context, explanation, local relevance , civic contribution, enterprise, and fairness. These seven basic yardsticks help me understand journalism a lot better finding out what to do and what not to do while you are a journalist. Each of these yardsticks has different definitions or ways these are used. This was a very important thing we learned in class because it will help us in the future when we report things and how to use are information.  But in this section in class we took notes on this and it really help this was also and very interesting lecture we did in class also because this was the first thing that helped me with journalism class learning and figuring out how to do things. There were many core topics about the seven yard sticks like for example there is politics, government action, natural disaster and education etc these are things you would use the seven yardsticks in journalism. There's also peripheral topics in the seven yardsticks too like human interest, celebrities, sports and minor fires or accidents stuff like that is also in the seven yardsticks. This was probably the most useful thing we have done so far in journalism.
