Why didn't the Daily Mail put the jailing of Jo Cox's murderer on its front page?
This article, which is from the Guardian (an important point to make) is about how the Daily mail was one of two large newspapers in the UK to NOT post a piece about Jo Cox's murderer on its front page the day he was sentenced. Even some newspapers did include a small picture even if it wasn't there main headline.
We can link this to news values. This case here is an interesting one because the gatekeepers of the Daily Mail would've had to of considered it and it was evidently dismissed as 'unimportant' because the story first appeared on page 30 of the newspaper. I personally don't see why it wasn't posted sooner because not only was the person who died and arrested British, it was recent and it was shocking news because no other politician has been killed in quite some time, and it makes you wonder whats going on at the daily mail.
