A lot of factors contribute to the news worthiness of news: It depends on the proximity to your audience, the time factor involved, the socio-economic impact of the news, and the right of the people to know about something.
( these are some factors ) There is no right way to define what would make good news, as it is not all black and white.
But the news organisation must consider where it is based and who it is catering to when churning out new developments or pieces of information.
