First of all, let there be no doubt about the fact that the story itself is sad, and that it is no laughing matter, my point here is what the news value is for me and my fellow Norwegians.<\/p>\n
I turned on my computer this morning just to check my email before going to work, and as usual I also checked the latest news. Dagbladet.no reported as the headline news “Pregnant 20 year old corporal gone missing”. I must admit that I found it a bit off topic using the word corporal in the headline, but then again I thought that it had something to do with things happened in the Norwegian army. <\/p>\n
But then I read about the case http:\/\/www.dagbladet.no\/nyheter\/2008\/01\/09\/523421.html. The story is about a girl gone missing in North Carolina US about a month ago, and their family has created a group on Facebook go try to get her back. I must admit that I am not able to see the real news value for me living here in Norway, it is just another issue of Dagbladet doing “one feather becoming several chickens”. I got pissed when I realized that this was no Norwegian story. Sure, a lot of sad things happens around the world, but I do not need to know it all. <\/p>\n
It seems like Dagbladet has had no real news to have as their headliner, so they have just looked to Cnn.com and copied theirs headliner, ignoring the part that even though CNN is a “World news reporter” it is also an American news agency reporting what is to be considered local news for the US.<\/p>\n
But, still, even if Dagbladet and VG keeps annoying me again and again, I keep coming back, just for the simple fact that typing www.vg.no or www.db.no is so fast…doh<\/p>\n
