In the politics section of CNN's website, there is an article about the unlikely friendship of Chelsea Clinton and Ivanka Trump. This goes against the yardstick for newsworthiness. This is the case because it not only is not a core topic, meaning it was based on "human interest", but also will not have a "direct and lasting... informational impact on a wide audience."*
A way to change this article to help the reader is to move it to the "entertainment" section of CNN's website. Because of this, they would not have to meet the standards set by the seven yardsticks of journalism.
