News values: What makes it news?

Description

In this lesson on the values of news using the “Rule of Eight” and a few other news considerations, students will define and provide an example for eight elements of news (timeliness, proximity, impact, conflict, prominence, oddity, human interest, currency) and four other considerations (audience, policy, competition, presentation) based on a slideshow presentation and a vocabulary self-awareness chart.

• Students will learn the key elements to decide what is interesting or important to readers/viewers.
• Students will become familiar with the terms that news editors use to make news judgments.
• Students will begin to consider who the audience is (where they live, how old they are, what matters to them), their own news organization’s policy, its competition and the presentation constraints.

Common Core State Standards

YouTube video “What Makes News News”   by Rachel  Zidon (3:01)

Slideshow: News values: what makes it news

Handout: Vocabulary self-awareness chart

Test: Values of News

Lesson step-by-step

1. Building background — 10 minutes

Play the YouTube video linked above or any other short video in which students and/or professionals discuss their ideas about what news is. After viewing the video, open a discussion about what elements might go into deciding whether something is news.

Distribute the vocabulary self-awareness chart. Students are provided 12 terms that are elements of news judgment. To begin, they will look over the list and rate each word according to their understanding, using the procedure outlined at the top of the handout.

Choose one of the terms to provide an example from current news and definition.

2. Lesson on news values — 20 minutes

Present the slideshow “What makes it news,” providing a definition and up-to-date example of each. Ask students for additional examples from current news as you go along.

3. Complete the vocabulary sheet — 10-15 minutes

If you have journalism textbooks available, require students to read the chapter about how news is defined and use that to complete their vocabulary charts. Otherwise, set the slideshow to run automatically through all of the definition slides. Students should use newspapers, news magazines or news websites to help them find current examples. Students will move their check marks from the middle and minus columns to the plus column as they find examples and definitions of each term.

4. Reflection and closure — 2 minutes

Ask for one or two original examples from students. Ask them for ideas about how they can generate news stories at school using the news values they’ve learned.

Collect the completed charts or have students add them to their student manuals.

In addition to discussion responses, students should have fully completed the vocabulary self-awareness chart with correct definitions and appropriate examples.

End of unit assessment

After Lessons 1 and 2, administer values of news test. (Key provided)

Nate Silver Reveals His Presidential Forecast’s Favorite to Win 2024 Election Going Into Home Stretch

‘do the right thing’ trump begs cnn’s dana bash to go hard at harris in bizarre pre-interview rant, new poll: democrats’ enthusiasm surges by whopping 23 points — amid kamala harris replacing biden atop ticket, cnn’s scott jennings explodes over ‘craven’ democrats’ attempt to turn trump’s trip to arlington into ‘political, garbage attack’, ‘now down 70 percent’ cnn pins ‘tanking’ trump stock on kamala harris surge in polls, colorado mayor tells fox news apartment buildings in his city ‘have fallen’ to violent venezuelan gang.

Mayor Mike Coffman (R), the mayor of Aurora, Colorado, joined Fox News on Thursday to discuss reports of a violent Venezuelan gang taking over apartment complexes in his city, which the local police department has said they can’t confirm as of yet.

“Mayor thank you very much for coming on with us. It seems it’s tough to even get some confirmation of the details of what is going on there. First off, can you confirm whether or not this gang has taken over these buildings there in Aurora?” asked anchor Sandra Smith.

“So there are several buildings that are actually under the same ownership, out of state ownership, that have fallen to these Venezuelan gangs,” Coffman replied, adding:

I’m trying to walk it back and the and do the investigation as to how there’s a concentration of Venezuelans in these, these three buildings. Somebody put them there and somebody funded it. Whether it’s federal government or not, we’re trying to find out who. These gangs apparently are attracted to where there’s a concentration of Venezuelan migrants. And so, they’ve, in fact, have kind of pushed out the property management through intimidation and then collected the rents. We have now, or have had, it is ongoing, operations with a task force of local law enforcement, state law enforcement partner, and federal law enforcement partners, to root them out. And arrests have been made, but these operations are now are still ongoing. Smith followed up, “With the arrests have been made. Are these confirmed gang-affiliated members?”

“You know, they, this is an organized criminal effort. Whether it’s Tren de Aragua, that remains to be seen, but it really doesn’t matter. I mean, if they’re, you know, Venezuelan migrants in their in their, conducting crime in an organized way,” Coffman replied.

“Understood. So, okay, so you’re able to confirm that they, this Venezuelan, Venezuelan gang has indeed taken over at least some of the buildings. You’re saying at least two of the three. And what I just heard from you is you don’t know how they ended up there, and you even made a suggestion that they could have been sent there by federal officials. I heard you suggest. I mean, do you have any reason to believe that to be the case?” Smith pressed.

“So here’s a problem. I think we’re a victim of a failed policy at the southern border because, what you have, Venezuelan does not, according to my law enforcement, Venezuela does not cooperate with the United States in sharing criminal histories,” Coffman replied, adding:

You’ve had a third of the country leave. You’ve had these massive waves of migrants coming across the border that many of them crossed the border illegally, were arrested, asked for political asylum, were not adequately vetted, were released into the country. The city of Aurora. We did everything we could to, quite frankly, keep them out of out of the city because it’s not our problem. This is a federal problem. This is a problem, borne by the federal government. But, what I think what we’re trying to find out, and what I believe occurred, was that federal agencies worked with some of our local nonprofits, and put them there. Now, most of these people are very good, good people. But there’s a criminal element that, from what I understand, what law enforcement is repeated that often follows them, intends to exploit them within their own migrant community. And so we believe that that is happening. Now, now it’s we’re the 54th largest city in America with over 400,000 population. This is only several apartment complexes. But nonetheless, I’m not going to surrender any part of this city to a criminal element.

• How Far Trump Would Go

D onald Trump thinks he’s identified a crucial mistake of his first term: He was too nice.

We’ve been talking for more than an hour on April 12 at his fever-dream palace in Palm Beach. Aides lurk around the perimeter of a gilded dining room overlooking the manicured lawn. When one nudges me to wrap up the interview, I bring up the many former Cabinet officials who refuse to endorse Trump this time. Some have publicly warned that he poses a danger to the Republic. Why should voters trust you, I ask, when some of the people who observed you most closely do not?

As always, Trump punches back, denigrating his former top advisers. But beneath the typical torrent of invective, there is a larger lesson he has taken away. “I let them quit because I have a heart. I don’t want to embarrass anybody,” Trump says. “I don’t think I’ll do that again. From now on, I’ll fire.” 

Six months from the 2024 presidential election, Trump is better positioned to win the White House than at any point in either of his previous campaigns. He leads Joe Biden by slim margins in most polls, including in several of the seven swing states likely to determine the outcome. But I had not come to ask about the election, the disgrace that followed the last one, or how he has become the first former—and perhaps future—American President to face a criminal trial . I wanted to know what Trump would do if he wins a second term, to hear his vision for the nation, in his own words.

What emerged in two interviews with Trump , and conversations with more than a dozen of his closest advisers and confidants, were the outlines of an imperial presidency that would reshape America and its role in the world. To carry out a deportation operation designed to remove more than 11 million people from the country, Trump told me, he would be willing to build migrant detention camps and deploy the U.S. military, both at the border and inland. He would let red states monitor women’s pregnancies and prosecute those who violate abortion bans. He would, at his personal discretion, withhold funds appropriated by Congress, according to top advisers. He would be willing to fire a U.S. Attorney who doesn’t carry out his order to prosecute someone, breaking with a tradition of independent law enforcement that dates from America’s founding. He is weighing pardons for every one of his supporters accused of attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, 2021, more than 800 of whom have pleaded guilty or been convicted by a jury. He might not come to the aid of an attacked ally in Europe or Asia if he felt that country wasn’t paying enough for its own defense. He would gut the U.S. civil service, deploy the National Guard to American cities as he sees fit, close the White House pandemic-preparedness office, and staff his Administration with acolytes who back his false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen.

Trump remains the same guy, with the same goals and grievances. But in person, if anything, he appears more assertive and confident. “When I first got to Washington, I knew very few people,” he says. “I had to rely on people.” Now he is in charge. The arranged marriage with the timorous Republican Party stalwarts is over; the old guard is vanquished, and the people who remain are his people. Trump would enter a second term backed by a slew of policy shops staffed by loyalists who have drawn up detailed plans in service of his agenda, which would concentrate the powers of the state in the hands of a man whose appetite for power appears all but insatiable. “I don’t think it’s a big mystery what his agenda would be,” says his close adviser Kellyanne Conway. “But I think people will be surprised at the alacrity with which he will take action.”

The courts, the Constitution, and a Congress of unknown composition would all have a say in whether Trump’s objectives come to pass. The machinery of Washington has a range of defenses: leaks to a free press, whistle-blower protections, the oversight of inspectors general. The same deficiencies of temperament and judgment that hindered him in the past remain present. If he wins, Trump would be a lame duck—contrary to the suggestions of some supporters, he tells TIME he would not seek to overturn or ignore the Constitution’s prohibition on a third term. Public opinion would also be a powerful check. Amid a popular outcry, Trump was forced to scale back some of his most draconian first-term initiatives, including the policy of separating migrant families. As George Orwell wrote in 1945, the ability of governments to carry out their designs “depends on the general temper in the country.”

Every election is billed as a national turning point. This time that rings true. To supporters, the prospect of Trump 2.0, unconstrained and backed by a disciplined movement of true believers, offers revolutionary promise. To much of the rest of the nation and the world, it represents an alarming risk. A second Trump term could bring “the end of our democracy,” says presidential historian Douglas Brinkley, “and the birth of a new kind of authoritarian presidential order.”

Trump steps onto the patio at Mar-a-Lago near dusk. The well-heeled crowd eating Wagyu steaks and grilled branzino pauses to applaud as he takes his seat. On this gorgeous evening, the club is a MAGA mecca. Billionaire donor Steve Wynn is here. So is Speaker of the House Mike Johnson , who is dining with the former President after a joint press conference proposing legislation to prevent noncitizens from voting. Their voting in federal elections is already illegal, and extremely rare, but remains a Trumpian fixation that the embattled Speaker appeared happy to co-sign in exchange for the political cover that standing with Trump provides.

At the moment, though, Trump’s attention is elsewhere. With an index finger, he swipes through an iPad on the table to curate the restaurant’s soundtrack. The playlist veers from Sinead O’Connor to James Brown to  The Phantom of the Opera.  And there’s a uniquely Trump choice: a rendition of “The Star-Spangled Banner” sung by a choir of defendants imprisoned for attacking the U.S. Capitol on Jan. 6, interspersed with a recording of Trump reciting the Pledge of Allegiance. This has become a staple of his rallies, converting the ultimate symbol of national unity into a weapon of factional devotion. 

The spectacle picks up where his first term left off. The events of Jan. 6 , during which a pro-Trump mob attacked the center of American democracy in an effort to subvert the peaceful transfer of power, was a profound stain on his legacy. Trump has sought to recast an insurrectionist riot as an act of patriotism. “I call them the J-6 patriots,” he says. When I ask whether he would consider pardoning every one of them, he says, “Yes, absolutely.” As Trump faces dozens of felony charges, including for election interference, conspiracy to defraud the United States, willful retention of national-security secrets, and falsifying business records to conceal hush-money payments, he has tried to turn legal peril into a badge of honor.

In a second term, Trump’s influence on American democracy would extend far beyond pardoning powers. Allies are laying the groundwork to restructure the presidency in line with a doctrine called the unitary executive theory, which holds that many of the constraints imposed on the White House by legislators and the courts should be swept away in favor of a more powerful Commander in Chief.

Nowhere would that power be more momentous than at the Department of Justice. Since the nation’s earliest days, Presidents have generally kept a respectful distance from Senate-confirmed law-enforcement officials to avoid exploiting for personal ends their enormous ability to curtail Americans’ freedoms. But Trump, burned in his first term by multiple investigations directed by his own appointees, is ever more vocal about imposing his will directly on the department and its far-flung investigators and prosecutors.

In our Mar-a-Lago interview, Trump says he might fire U.S. Attorneys who refuse his orders to prosecute someone: “It would depend on the situation.” He’s told supporters he would seek retribution against his enemies in a second term. Would that include Fani Willis , the Atlanta-area district attorney who charged him with election interference, or Alvin Bragg, the Manhattan DA in the Stormy Daniels case, who Trump has previously said should be prosecuted? Trump demurs but offers no promises. “No, I don’t want to do that,” he says, before adding, “We’re gonna look at a lot of things. What they’ve done is a terrible thing.”

Trump has also vowed to appoint a “real special prosecutor” to go after Biden. “I wouldn’t want to hurt Biden,” he tells me. “I have too much respect for the office.” Seconds later, though, he suggests Biden’s fate may be tied to an upcoming Supreme Court ruling on whether Presidents can face criminal prosecution for acts committed in office. “If they said that a President doesn’t get immunity,” says Trump, “then Biden, I am sure, will be prosecuted for all of his crimes.” (Biden has not been charged with any, and a House Republican effort to impeach him has failed to unearth evidence of any crimes or misdemeanors, high or low.)

Such moves would be potentially catastrophic for the credibility of American law enforcement, scholars and former Justice Department leaders from both parties say. “If he ordered an improper prosecution, I would expect any respectable U.S. Attorney to say no,” says Michael McConnell, a former U.S. appellate judge appointed by President George W. Bush. “If the President fired the U.S. Attorney, it would be an enormous firestorm.” McConnell, now a Stanford law professor, says the dismissal could have a cascading effect similar to the Saturday Night Massacre , when President Richard Nixon ordered top DOJ officials to remove the special counsel investigating Watergate. Presidents have the constitutional right to fire U.S. Attorneys, and typically replace their predecessors’ appointees upon taking office. But discharging one specifically for refusing a President’s order would be all but unprecedented.

Trump’s radical designs for presidential power would be felt throughout the country. A main focus is the southern border. Trump says he plans to sign orders to reinstall many of the same policies from his first term, such as the Remain in Mexico program, which requires that non-Mexican asylum seekers be sent south of the border until their court dates, and Title 42 , which allows border officials to expel migrants without letting them apply for asylum. Advisers say he plans to cite record border crossings and fentanyl- and child-trafficking as justification for reimposing the emergency measures. He would direct federal funding to resume construction of the border wall, likely by allocating money from the military budget without congressional approval. The capstone of this program, advisers say, would be a massive deportation operation that would target millions of people. Trump made similar pledges in his first term, but says he plans to be more aggressive in a second. “People need to be deported,” says Tom Homan, a top Trump adviser and former acting head of Immigration and Customs Enforcement. “No one should be off the table.”

For an operation of that scale, Trump says he would rely mostly on the National Guard to round up and remove undocumented migrants throughout the country. “If they weren’t able to, then I’d use [other parts of] the military,” he says. When I ask if that means he would override the Posse Comitatus Act—an 1878 law that prohibits the use of military force on civilians—Trump seems unmoved by the weight of the statute. “Well, these aren’t civilians,” he says. “These are people that aren’t legally in our country.” He would also seek help from local police and says he would deny funding for jurisdictions that decline to adopt his policies. “There’s a possibility that some won’t want to participate,” Trump says, “and they won’t partake in the riches.”

As President, Trump nominated three Supreme Court Justices who voted to overturn  Roe v. Wade,  and he claims credit for his role in ending a constitutional right to an abortion. At the same time, he has sought to defuse a potent campaign issue for the Democrats by saying he wouldn’t sign a federal ban. In our interview at Mar-a-Lago, he declines to commit to vetoing any additional federal restrictions if they came to his desk. More than 20 states now have full or partial abortion bans, and Trump says those policies should be left to the states to do what they want, including monitoring women’s pregnancies. “I think they might do that,” he says. When I ask whether he would be comfortable with states prosecuting women for having abortions beyond the point the laws permit, he says, “It’s irrelevant whether I’m comfortable or not. It’s totally irrelevant, because the states are going to make those decisions.” President Biden has said he would fight state anti-abortion measures in court and with regulation.

Trump’s allies don’t plan to be passive on abortion if he returns to power. The Heritage Foundation has called for enforcement of a 19th century statute that would outlaw the mailing of abortion pills. The Republican Study Committee (RSC), which includes more than 80% of the House GOP conference, included in its 2025 budget proposal the Life at Conception Act, which says the right to life extends to “the moment of fertilization.” I ask Trump if he would veto that bill if it came to his desk. “I don’t have to do anything about vetoes,” Trump says, “because we now have it back in the states.”

Presidents typically have a narrow window to pass major legislation. Trump’s team is eyeing two bills to kick off a second term: a border-security and immigration package, and an extension of his 2017 tax cuts. Many of the latter’s provisions expire early in 2025: the tax cuts on individual income brackets, 100% business expensing, the doubling of the estate-tax deduction. Trump is planning to intensify his protectionist agenda, telling me he’s considering a tariff of more than 10% on all imports, and perhaps even a 100% tariff on some Chinese goods. Trump says the tariffs will liberate the U.S. economy from being at the mercy of foreign manufacturing and spur an industrial renaissance in the U.S. When I point out that independent analysts estimate Trump’s first term tariffs on thousands of products, including steel and aluminum, solar panels, and washing machines, may have cost the U.S. $316 billion and more than 300,000 jobs, by one account, he dismisses these experts out of hand. His advisers argue that the average yearly inflation rate in his first term—under 2%—is evidence that his tariffs won’t raise prices.

Since leaving office, Trump has tried to engineer a caucus of the compliant, clearing primary fields in Senate and House races. His hope is that GOP majorities replete with MAGA diehards could rubber-stamp his legislative agenda and nominees. Representative Jim Banks of Indiana, a former RSC chairman and the GOP nominee for the state’s open Senate seat, recalls an August 2022 RSC planning meeting with Trump at his residence in Bedminster, N.J. As the group arrived, Banks recalls, news broke that Mar-a-Lago had been raided by the FBI. Banks was sure the meeting would be canceled. Moments later, Trump walked through the doors, defiant and pledging to run again. “I need allies there when I’m elected,” Banks recalls Trump saying. The difference in a second Trump term, Banks says now, “is he’s going to have the backup in Congress that he didn’t have before.”

Trump’s intention to remake America’s relations abroad may be just as consequential. Since its founding, the U.S. has sought to build and sustain alliances based on the shared values of political and economic freedom. Trump takes a much more transactional approach to international relations than his predecessors, expressing disdain for what he views as free-riding friends and appreciation for authoritarian leaders like President Xi Jinping of China, Prime Minister Viktor Orban of Hungary, or former President Jair Bolsonaro of Brazil.

That’s one reason America’s traditional allies were horrified when Trump recently said at a campaign rally that Russia could “do whatever the hell they want” to a NATO country he believes doesn’t spend enough on collective defense. That wasn’t idle bluster, Trump tells me. “If you’re not going to pay, then you’re on your own,” he says. Trump has long said the alliance is ripping the U.S. off. Former NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg credited Trump’s first-term threat to pull out of the alliance with spurring other members to add more than $100 billion to their defense budgets.

But an insecure NATO is as likely to accrue to Russia’s benefit as it is to America’s. President Vladimir Putin’s 2022 invasion of Ukraine looks to many in Europe and the U.S. like a test of his broader vision to reconstruct the Soviet empire. Under Biden and a bipartisan Congress, the U.S. has sent more than $100 billion to Ukraine to defend itself. It’s unlikely Trump would extend the same support to Kyiv. After Orban visited Mar-a-Lago in March, he said Trump “wouldn’t give a penny” to Ukraine. “I wouldn’t give unless Europe starts equalizing,” Trump hedges in our interview. “If Europe is not going to pay, why should we pay? They’re much more greatly affected. We have an ocean in between us. They don’t.” (E.U. nations have given more than $100 billion in aid to Ukraine as well.)

Trump has historically been reluctant to criticize or confront Putin. He sided with the Russian autocrat over his own intelligence community when it asserted that Russia interfered in the 2016 election. Even now, Trump uses Putin as a foil for his own political purposes. When I asked Trump why he has not called for the release of Wall Street Journal reporter Evan Gershkovich, who has been unjustly held on spurious charges in a Moscow prison for a year , Trump says, “I guess because I have so many other things I’m working on.” Gershkovich should be freed, he adds, but he doubts it will happen before the election. “The reporter should be released and he will be released,” Trump tells me. “I don’t know if he’s going to be released under Biden. I would get him released.”

America’s Asian allies, like its European ones, may be on their own under Trump. Taiwan’s Foreign Minister recently said aid to Ukraine was critical in deterring Xi from invading the island. Communist China’s leaders “have to understand that things like that can’t come easy,” Trump says, but he declines to say whether he would come to Taiwan’s defense. 

Trump is less cryptic on current U.S. troop deployments in Asia. If South Korea doesn’t pay more to support U.S. troops there to deter Kim Jong Un’s increasingly belligerent regime to the north, Trump suggests the U.S. could withdraw its forces. “We have 40,000 troops that are in a precarious position,” he tells TIME. (The number is actually 28,500.) “Which doesn’t make any sense. Why would we defend somebody? And we’re talking about a very wealthy country.”

Transactional isolationism may be the main strain of Trump’s foreign policy, but there are limits. Trump says he would join Israel’s side in a confrontation with Iran. “If they attack Israel, yes, we would be there,” he tells me. He says he has come around to the now widespread belief in Israel that a Palestinian state existing side by side in peace is increasingly unlikely. “There was a time when I thought two-state could work,” he says. “Now I think two-state is going to be very, very tough.”

Yet even his support for Israel is not absolute. He’s criticized Israel’s handling of its war against Hamas, which has killed more than 30,000 Palestinians in Gaza, and has called for the nation to “get it over with.” When I ask whether he would consider withholding U.S. military aid to Israel to push it toward winding down the war, he doesn’t say yes, but he doesn’t rule it out, either. He is sharply critical of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, once a close ally. “I had a bad experience with Bibi,” Trump says. In his telling, a January 2020 U.S. operation to assassinate a top Iranian general was supposed to be a joint attack until Netanyahu backed out at the last moment. “That was something I never forgot,” he says. He blames Netanyahu for failing to prevent the Oct. 7 attack, when Hamas militants infiltrated southern Israel and killed nearly 1,200 people amid acts of brutality including burning entire families alive and raping women and girls. “It happened on his watch,” Trump says.

On the second day of Trump’s New York trial on April 17, I stand behind the packed counter of the Sanaa Convenience Store on 139th Street and Broadway, waiting for Trump to drop in for a postcourt campaign stop. He chose the bodega for its history. In 2022, one of the store’s clerks fatally stabbed a customer who attacked him. Bragg, the Manhattan DA, charged the clerk with second-degree murder. (The charges were later dropped amid public outrage over video footage that appeared to show the clerk acting in self-defense.) A baseball bat behind the counter alludes to lingering security concerns. When Trump arrives, he asks the store’s co-owner, Maad Ahmed, a Yemeni immigrant, about safety. “You should be allowed to have a gun,” Trump tells Ahmed. “If you had a gun, you’d never get robbed.”

On the campaign trail, Trump uses crime as a cudgel, painting urban America as a savage hell-scape even though violent crime has declined in recent years, with homicides sinking 6% in 2022 and 13% in 2023, according to the FBI. When I point this out, Trump tells me he thinks the data, which is collected by state and local police departments, is rigged. “It’s a lie,” he says. He has pledged to send the National Guard into cities struggling with crime in a second term—possibly without the request of governors—and plans to approve Justice Department grants only to cities that adopt his preferred policing methods like stop-and-frisk.

To critics, Trump’s preoccupation with crime is a racial dog whistle. In polls, large numbers of his supporters have expressed the view that antiwhite racism now represents a greater problem in the U.S. than the systemic racism that has long afflicted Black Americans. When I ask if he agrees, Trump does not dispute this position. “There is a definite antiwhite feeling in the country,” he tells TIME, “and that can’t be allowed either.” In a second term, advisers say, a Trump Administration would rescind Biden’s Executive Orders designed to boost diversity and racial equity.

Trump’s ability to campaign for the White House in the midst of an unprecedented criminal trial is the product of a more professional campaign operation that has avoided the infighting that plagued past versions. “He has a very disciplined team around him,” says Representative Elise Stefanik of New York. “That is an indicator of how disciplined and focused a second term will be.” That control now extends to the party writ large. In 2016, the GOP establishment, having failed to derail Trump’s campaign, surrounded him with staff who sought to temper him. Today the party’s permanent class have either devoted themselves to the gospel of MAGA or given up. Trump has cleaned house at the Republican National Committee, installing handpicked leaders—including his daughter-in-law—who have reportedly imposed loyalty tests on prospective job applicants, asking whether they believe the false assertion that the 2020 election was stolen. (The RNC has denied there is a litmus test.) Trump tells me he would have trouble hiring anyone who admits Biden won: “I wouldn’t feel good about it.”

Policy groups are creating a government-in-waiting full of true believers. The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025 has drawn up plans for legislation and Executive Orders as it trains prospective personnel for a second Trump term. The Center for Renewing America, led by Russell Vought, Trump’s former director of the Office of Management and Budget, is dedicated to disempowering the so-called administrative state, the collection of bureaucrats with the power to control everything from drug-safety determinations to the contents of school lunches. The America First Policy Institute is a research haven of pro-Trump right-wing populists. America First Legal, led by Trump’s immigration adviser Stephen Miller, is mounting court battles against the Biden Administration. 

The goal of these groups is to put Trump’s vision into action on day one. “The President never had a policy process that was designed to give him what he actually wanted and campaigned on,” says Vought. “[We are] sorting through the legal authorities, the mechanics, and providing the momentum for a future Administration.” That includes a litany of boundary-pushing right-wing policies, including slashing Department of Justice funding and cutting climate and environmental regulations.

Trump’s campaign says he would be the final decision-maker on which policies suggested by these organizations would get implemented. But at the least, these advisers could form the front lines of a planned march against what Trump dubs the Deep State, marrying bureaucratic savvy to their leader’s anti-bureaucratic zeal. One weapon in Trump’s second-term “War on Washington” is a wonky one: restoring the power of impoundment, which allowed Presidents to withhold congressionally appropriated funds. Impoundment was a favorite maneuver of Nixon, who used his authority to freeze funding for subsidized housing and the Environmental Protection Agency. Trump and his allies plan to challenge a 1974 law that prohibits use of the measure, according to campaign policy advisers.

Another inside move is the enforcement of Schedule F, which allows the President to fire nonpolitical government officials and which Trump says he would embrace. “You have some people that are protected that shouldn’t be protected,” he says. A senior U.S. judge offers an example of how consequential such a move could be. Suppose there’s another pandemic, and President Trump wants to push the use of an untested drug, much as he did with hydroxychloroquine during COVID-19. Under Schedule F, if the drug’s medical reviewer at the Food and Drug Administration refuses to sign off on its use, Trump could fire them, and anyone else who doesn’t approve it. The Trump team says the President needs the power to hold bureaucrats accountable to voters. “The mere mention of Schedule F,” says Vought, “ensures that the bureaucracy moves in your direction.”

It can be hard at times to discern Trump’s true intentions. In his interviews with TIME, he often sidestepped questions or answered them in contradictory ways. There’s no telling how his ego and self-destructive behavior might hinder his objectives. And for all his norm-breaking, there are lines he says he won’t cross. When asked if he would comply with all orders upheld by the Supreme Court, Trump says he would. 

But his policy preoccupations are clear and consistent. If Trump is able to carry out a fraction of his goals, the impact could prove as transformative as any presidency in more than a century. “He’s in full war mode,” says his former adviser and occasional confidant Stephen Bannon. Trump’s sense of the state of the country is “quite apocalyptic,” Bannon says. “That’s where Trump’s heart is. That’s where his obsession is.”

These obsessions could once again push the nation to the brink of crisis. Trump does not dismiss the possibility of political violence around the election. “If we don’t win, you know, it depends,” he tells TIME. “It always depends on the fairness of the election.” When I ask what he meant when he baselessly claimed on Truth Social that a stolen election “allows for the termination of all rules, regulations and articles, even those found in the Constitution,” Trump responded by denying he had said it. He then complained about the “Biden-inspired” court case he faces in New York and suggested that the “fascists” in America’s government were its greatest threat. “I think the enemy from within, in many cases, is much more dangerous for our country than the outside enemies of China, Russia, and various others,” he tells me.

Toward the end of our conversation at Mar-a-Lago, I ask Trump to explain another troubling comment he made: that he wants to be dictator for a day. It came during a Fox News town hall with Sean Hannity, who gave Trump an opportunity to allay concerns that he would abuse power in office or seek retribution against political opponents. Trump said he would not be a dictator—“except for day one,” he added. “I want to close the border, and I want to drill, drill, drill.”

Trump says that the remark “was said in fun, in jest, sarcastically.” He compares it to an infamous moment from the 2016 campaign, when he encouraged the Russians to hack and leak Hillary Clinton’s emails. In Trump’s mind, the media sensationalized those remarks too. But the Russians weren’t joking: among many other efforts to influence the core exercise of American democracy that year, they hacked the Democratic National Committee’s servers and disseminated its emails through WikiLeaks.

Whether or not he was kidding about bringing a tyrannical end to our 248-year experiment in democracy, I ask him, Don’t you see why many Americans see such talk of dictatorship as contrary to our most cherished principles? Trump says no. Quite the opposite, he insists. “I think a lot of people like it.” — With reporting by Leslie Dickstein, Simmone Shah, and Julia Zorthian

Susan Kuo & Benjamin Means Forcing Climate Change Compliance , 48 Harv. Envtl. L. Rev. 437 (2024).

Climate change is inflicting significant environmental damage. The “Carbon Majors,” a group of around 100 companies, are responsible for an outsized share of the greenhouse gas emissions that cause climate change. Yet, the Carbon Majors have resisted changes to their business model. In recent years, more than two dozen cities, counties, and states have filed lawsuits seeking compensation from the Carbon Majors for climate change mitigation costs. We contend that those lawsuits create an opportunity, not only to compensate for past harms, but to prevent further fossil fuel investments. To that end, we propose an equitable remedy: the judicial appointment of independent compliance monitors with plenary power to access corporate information and institute governance changes. Once embedded within corporations, monitors would prevent “greenwashing” ploys and help guide corporations through the difficult tradeoffs involved in rapid decarbonization. By implementing robust compliance controls within the corporations most responsible for climate change, monitors could play a vital role in advancing the transition to a green economy.

New ACC, AHA Report Identifies Key Data Elements and Definitions For SDOH in Cardiology

Aug 26, 2024

ACC News Story

New 2024 ACC/AHA Key Data Elements and Definitions for Social Determinants of Health (SDOH) in Cardiology aim to provide clarity around SDOH definitions with the goal of optimizing clinical care and research addressing health disparities.

According to the Writing Committee, led by Chair Alanna A. Morris, MD, MSc, FACC , and Vice Chair Frederick A. Masoudi, MD, MSPH, MACC , "SDOH affect a wide range of health risks, health outcomes, and quality-of-life indicators and contribute to health disparities; therefore, it is increasingly important that SDOH be prospectively incorporated into clinical practice and research."

The Committee conducted an extensive environmental scan of existing SDOH models like the World Health Organization's Conceptual SDOH Framework, the Rural Community Health and Well-Being Framework, the National Institute on Minority Health and Health Disparities Research Framework, etc. They also reviewed existing data standards from the Health Level 7 Gravity Project, the National Institutes of Health, the Agency for Healthcare Research and Quality, and others to determine the data elements and definitions of greatest relevance to cardiovascular care.

The document divides the SDOH data elements into three primary levels addressing individual, interpersonal and community domains. At the individual level, the document outlines six domains consisting of 1) race, ethnicity, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, immigration status, and acculturation; 2) educational attainment, income and employment; 3) language and literacy; 4) health literacy, broadband access or digital divide, and digital health literacy; 5) dietary quality and food insecurity; and 6) health insurance status.

On the interpersonal level, SDOH elements consist of four domains, including 1) social connection or network; 2) interpersonal discrimination; 3) disparate health care quality; and 4) psychosocial stress. At the community or society level, SDOH domains include indices of racial and ethnic segregation; housing quality and instability; civic participation and voting rights; environmental conditions; access to and availability of health care services; community-level education, income and employment; community-level rates of incarceration, crime and violence; and research infrastructure and access to clinical trials.

According to the authors, the development of these SDOH standards is a "necessary early step in the more complex process of advancing health equity and optimizing health outcomes for all individuals." However, the next challenge will be implementation. "Mechanisms to enhance the inclusion of consistently defined data elements that best reflect individuals and their lived environment in [electronic health records (EHRs)], clinical research, and health data systems will be necessary to support action," they write.

"Despite a growing appreciation of the impact of social factors on cardiovascular health, these data are not widely available, particularly on the individual level, to support initiatives and research intended to improve health outcomes for those at social disadvantage," said Masoudi. "The first step to developing widespread actionable data is to create a common vocabulary for social determinants. Armed with these standards, EHR vendors and organizations that provide health care should collaborate to integrate key data standards into clinical workflow to facilitate consistent documentation of these factors, which would permit a deep, meaningful understanding of social factors both within and among organizations."

The data standards were developed by the ACC/American Heart Association Joint Committee on Clinical Data Standards and are endorsed by the American Society for Preventive Cardiology, Heart Failure Society of America, Heart Rhythm Make Well Known Foundation, Preventive Cardiovascular Nurses Association, and Society of Behavioral Medicine Affirmation of Value by the Society for Cardiovascular Angiography and Interventions. NCDR currently collects demographic elements that can in some cases be used as proxies for SDOH. The key constructs of SDOH and corresponding data elements, as presented in this clinical document, provide a roadmap for how registries can incorporate more SDOH in the future to inform clinical practice and research.

Replacement of the Alexandra Bridge

From: Public Services and Procurement Canada

Today, officials from Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) met with elected officials from the City of Gatineau to provide an update on the progress of the Alexandra Bridge replacement project and to clarify essential elements of the project, such as the reasoning behind the decision to replace the bridge, the conditions of the structure and the studies carried out.

For immediate release

Project Update

Gatineau, Quebec August 28, 2024

Today, officials from Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) met with elected officials from the City of Gatineau to provide an update on the progress of the Alexandra Bridge replacement project and to clarify essential elements of the project, such as the reasoning behind the decision to replace the bridge, the conditions of the structure and the studies carried out. During the meeting, elected officials had the opportunity to obtain answers to important questions that affect citizens.

The findings of numerous reports and studies on the replacement of the Alexandra Bridge conducted since 2012 demonstrate that the Alexandra Bridge must be replaced. An iconic element of the Ottawa-Gatineau landscape for over 120 years, the Alexandra Bridge has reached the end of its useful life. It requires replacement due to significant deterioration caused by time, exposure to natural elements and salt, as well as continuous use.

The studies have helped us plan and make evidence-based decisions. The 2022 feasibility study by the consulting and engineering firm Tetra Tech determined that it was not viable to retain the existing Alexandra Bridge, regardless of its future use, whether the bridge is intended for vehicles, pedestrians, cyclists, or any other future public transportation options.

The analysis of the life-cycle costs carried out in 2018 also looked at possible long-term investment options. The analysis determined that rehabilitation of the existing structure would require extensive immediate and medium- to long-term repairs, with significant uncertainties regarding future work. Furthermore, if the existing structure could be repaired, the extended residual lifespan achieved for the existing bridge following the repairs would be significantly shorter than the expected lifespan of a new bridge, without the benefit from the cost savings associated with the long-term operation and maintenance of a modern bridge.

The replacement will ensure that the citizens of the National Capital Region can look forward to a bridge that meets the functional requirements of the community, provides increased capacity and safety, facilitates multi-purpose access and ensures compatibility with a possible future tramway infrastructure, while complying with the most recent version of the Canadian Highway Bridge Design Code.

The bridge’s new design will help avoid structures and elements prone to corrosion. This will enable the bridge to be maintained in good condition for a longer period of time and to serve many future generations. The design of the new bridge will pay careful attention to the history and unique setting of the existing Alexandra Bridge. PSPC is working with heritage specialists and other stakeholders to preserve and commemorate the legacy of the bridge.

Stakeholder engagement and public consultations are at the heart of the project. The next public consultations will take place this fall. Partners, Indigenous communities, stakeholders (including the cities of Ottawa and Gatineau) and the public will have the opportunity to learn more about the process and to provide their feedback on elements of the design options. These comments will be taken into consideration in the recommendation of the preferred design option. In addition, the Progressive Design-Build procurement process is also scheduled to be launched in the fall.

Notwithstanding the bridge’s current condition, investments are under way to temporarily extend its lifespan and ensure its safe public use until replacement work begins, no later than 2028.

6 Elements of News What is news? Why is it news? Why is it published?

Timeliness • The news happened recently (since the last edition) • It’s new, otherwise, we’d call it “olds” • Almost every story has some timeliness aspect • For example:A teen driver is hit by another car at the intersection of Miller and Russell today, in the newspaper tomorrow.

Conflict • War, elections, sports • Any time there is a struggle • For example:In an election year a lot of stories about the election are news. The conflict in Iraq is news.

Consequence • The subject of a story has an impact on how people live their lives. • For example:A story on a new curfew that will take effect, or a street that is under construction, or a scientific breakthrough

Prominence • Elected, wealthy, famous • For example:If I choke on a pretzel, it’s not news. When the president does, it is news.

Proximity • Closeness, either because of geographical proximity or because of relationship • For example:News about the area (geographical) or news about things of interest/concern to locals (relationship).

Human Interest • “Warm and fuzzy” feeling • For example:Olympic athlete bios, Dateline “Survivor Stories”

Hard News v. Soft News Journalists often refer to “hard” news and “soft” news. What’s the difference?

Hard News …is important to large numbers of people. It has impact and consequence, and it is always timely.

Soft News is less important and has little consequence. It entertains as well as informs. It is less timely (or sometimes not at all), it usually involves human interest, and appeals more to emotions than intellect.

Three goals of journalism • Inform • Educate • Entertain
