The Washington Post published an article Friday about Anthony Fauci and the statements he made during a press conference with the president.
Two news values found in this story are timeliness and prominence.
The coronavirus seems to take up the entire news cycle this month, and any story about the virus or experts on the situation is considered timely. The president held a press conference to give an update and Dr. Fauci was there with his own update as well. It was all up to date information which is relevant news.
Dr. Fauci is the head of the National Institute of Allergy and Infectious Diseases, which makes him a prominent figure on the subject. His appearance shaking his head behind Trump during the press conference has also helped him rise to fame. People are interested in him and what he has to say.
