 Timing- 3/4 

This article was uploaded a day after this specific event took place. I only took off one mark and gave them a 3 because of this general post they could have had it uploaded the day of; giving all the information that was plastered all over social media.

Significance- 3/4

This article is somewhat significant in celebrity news, however there are more important storys to talk about than just that a very popular singer that walks out of one of there concerts. I gave them this mark because after the fact Justin had later come back to perform the rest of the concert.

Proximity- 3/4

This proximity of this article is in Manchester England, however this article does not take place in Canada, he is a well known Canadian singer song writer.

Prominence- 4/4

This article is about Justin Bieber, he is a very well known Canadian singer with an enormous fan base which is why this article is of importance. 

Human Interest- 2/4

I gave this mark of 50 50 because this article is appealing to younger audiences and people who feel strongly about music, also this article is a big hit in social media as well. However there are people that do not really care for music or just Justin Bieber in general so they are the other half of the 50 50.

Timing- 4/4

This articles mark was awesome because of the timing although it was posted a day after the event took place, I gave them a good mark based on all the information this article had provided for only a day after.

Significance- 4/4

This article has a significance in news because it involves the presidency now. Obama warns he will not remain silent meaning he is going to be involved as he can be with the presidency turned over to Trump.

Proximity- 3/4

Although this article is about the presidency of the United States (US); Canada is very involved in the elections; Canadians are always following US politics meaning it hits our proximity very well.

Prominence- 3/4

The importance of this article is to ensure people who is skeptical about Trumps overtake of the presidency, Obama makes sure to tell people just because he is leaving doesn't mean he will not be involved in the politics.

Human Interest- 3/4

This appeals to anyone who likes to be involved, watch, or even just observe politics. However lets face it if you don't do any of these things then you will probably hear people talking about it around or within a group of people involved.
