This article fits the timeliness value because it happened this morning, Friday, April 12.
"Spring storm leaves 3 dead, hits Mid-Atlantic"
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/04/12/spring-storms-southeast/2076699/
Proximity...
While this is a very short story, I chose this article about UT, because UT is just right down town, maybe a 20-30 minute drive away from where most of us live.
"UT officials continue to investigate bomb threat"
http://www.statesman.com/news/news/crime-law/ut-officials-continue-investigate-bomb-threat/nXJwg/
Prominence...
I put this article under the prominence value, because everywhere in the world, oil is used for something. So this is a pretty important news story, and is very worth being in the news.
"Oil falls to near 92$ on lower demand forecasts"
http://www.statesman.com/ap/ap/automotive/oil-falls-to-near-93-on-lower-demand-forecasts/nXKZN/
Impact...
I think this news story is a good fit for the impact value, because many people have smart phones now a days, so these apps will have a big impact on the health of the nation, in a positive way.
"The 64 best health and fitness apps of 2013"
http://www.statesman.com/news/lifestyles/health/64-best-health-and-fitness-apps-2013/nW966/
Conflict...
This article goes into conflict, not for physical battles, but the battle for presidency in the election of 2016.
"Republican Sen. Rand Paul to speak in NH"
http://www.statesman.com/ap/ap/top-news/republican-sen-rand-paul-to-speak-in-nh/nXB3N/
Human Interest...
I chose this article for this value because it's something that effects pretty much everyone's emotions who reads it. This is a story about a very emotional incident.
"Arrest of 3 teens in cyberbullying case opens raw wounds"
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/2013/04/12/cyberbullying-sexual-assault-suicide-san-jose-arrest-teens/2076825/
Novelty...
I chose this news story, because the age, rarity, story of the hymnal, and the worth being so high, is very unusual and grabbed my attention. This hymnal is literally a novelty.
"Hymnal that dates to 1640 could fetch $30M"
http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2013/04/12/hymnal-auction-1640/2076749/
