Meow the Third – “Continuity”
Continuity is another news value that can be shown at the example of cat articles. Continuity means that a story is likely to be covered for some time. Here is a story about the “Hydro Pole Cat”, a black cat sitting on a pole for three days. The cat was stuck on a pole for three days, then was rescued, was named Lucky, got his own facebook page, and was finally adopted by a family.
