Somehow they overlap so no need to panic.Just take values as what multiplies the importance of a news story & components as the same elements a drama requires.Life is a drama,suspense/mystery/conflict/emotional ups&downs/intimate relation with opposite sex/conflict/money/religion etc are part/scenes of this drama...news is all about showing you this drama right in the printed words of newspaper.
hope you got that
thanks
