News is powerful. It takes an event and turns it into a story. Whether a celebration or a conflict, one moment can spring into our lives and leave an indelible mark.
How do we decide which events are newsworthy?
From reporting on the disastrous Great Fire of London to the sensationalism surrounding Jack the Ripper, even a social media spat between footballers’ wives can become an overnight sensation.
But why? Go beyond the headlines to discover how a story grips us. Witness the reach of the news in our trailer.
We’ve asked the questions. Join us to discover the answers.
