News Story 3 comes from the BBC News online site. The article is about a four year old boy called 'Hamzah Khan' who was killed by his mother. There is a direct link to the News Value of 'conflict' as the child's mother was guilty of killing her son. This article is an ongoing story (continuity) having been reported weeks earlier (this part of the story focuses on the trial rather than the killing itself). It is a human interest story (personalisation) as it involves the death of a young child. This story contains the news value surprise, as it is not a common situation.
