3.25.14
  • i believe the "news value" that matches this article is Impact, because this has an impact on everyone, they have to worry about "falling cement" crashing on them any minute. Something random like this happened to someone, which means it could happened to anyone else. This is something very unsafe and hazardous.

Part 2

Stupidest:

  • This is most stupid because Kim and Kanye or another celebrity should not be any kind of news. Especially this. More important news could have been aired instead of this.

Most Important:
