The ultimate tool to create viral marketing
The News-Worth Canvas
🦖 🦕 🦖 🦕 🦖 🦕 🦖 🦕
The canvas is a tool to systematically create newsworthy stories that people care about and end up in the news channel. This tool resembles a painter’s canvas — preformatted with seven modules — which allows you to paint pictures of new or existing newsworthy stories.
I created this tool to help me and my teams build newsworthy products. Furthermore, this tool has become a shared language that will allow you to easily describe and understand why a story becomes newsworthy. In other words, the News-Worth Canvas is a tool to create stories and also to understand why other stories are newsworthy in a very visual and easy-to-understand way.

News-Worth Canvas
The main idea behind News-Worth Dynamics is that all stories need to have something to make them newsworthy. Not all information is newsworthy. Stories need to supply certain elements of interest to qualify as news. These elements of interest form the Seven Traits of News-Worth.
With that in mind, we created a handy tool that we call the News-Worth Canvas: a visual template for describing, analyzing, and creating viral marketing.

News Builder
The News Builder leverages what journalists call the Five 5Ws of Journalism so you can emulate the process that journalists follow in their minds when writing news articles.
With the News Builder, you will craft a press release simply by arranging the elements from the canvas into the Five 5Ws and then into amazing headings.
