Preferred term

human interest journalism  

Definition(s)

  • The term human interest often appears on lists of news values—along with such criteria as impact, timeliness, prominence, and proximity—that ostensibly guide journalists in their decisions about news selection. Narrowly construed, human interest refers to an attribute of an event, issue, or topic that helps make that story deserving of news coverage.
