newsmaking
Worth reporting on
Newsmaking describes events, actions, or people that generate media coverage or public attention.
Something newsmaking is significant or sensational enough to warrant being reported: The CEO's resignation was the most newsmaking event of the quarter.
The term often appears attributively to characterize developments that journalists find compelling: a newsmaking scandal, newsmaking testimony.
It can also function as a noun referring to the process of creating or becoming news.
