Document Summary
Doxa: the common experience that the world seems self-explaining and self-evident to us. This is a set of professional beliefs among a lot of journalists that seem to be evident, natural, and self-explaining norms in journalistic practice. You can look at types of news values agreed upon by journalists: Almost everyone believes in this: this deals with newsworthiness, these are undisputed, these are things people are looking for when they decide whether something is news or not, these are things taken for granted. Orthodox: these are things that are agreed upon and dominant things: most people will consider or will have the same opinion about what is considered hard news or not.
