newsworthy
Worth covering publicly
Newsworthy describes something significant or interesting enough to merit coverage by news media.
A scandal might be newsworthy; a routine meeting usually isn't.
The judgment is subjective—what one editor finds newsworthy, another may dismiss: The protest wasn't considered newsworthy until violence broke out.
