Timing - 3/4
The timing for this article could of been sooner since the world isn't in that big of a scare about breast cancer at the moment, as it was a couple of years perversely. However, since breast cancer is still a big concern today, many people would take interest in this article.

http://www.cbc.ca/arts/music/story/2010/10/14/ti-rapper-suicidal-man-building-atlanta.html
Timing - 4/4
Since the article was made the day after the events happened, the timing of this article couldn't of been better.

Proximity - 2/4
The location where the event took place was in Atlanta, so the proximity would not be that high.
Prominence - 4/4
Even though the man attempting to kill himself wasn't famous at all, Rapper T.I was involved, therefore more people would be interested.
Human Interest - 1/4
This article would probably lose interest if it wasn't posting right away, so the human interest wouldn't be that great.
