This is a Local News Story because it is about a boy from Lincoln, and does not include anyone else from any other area. This story has the news value 'Impact', as it happened to a young child, and it makes you feel very sad because something like this could happen to anyone, but happy that he is recovering. This story has 'Continuity', as it continues on from the story of the boy from Lincoln getting burns on Sunday. This has 'Personalisation' because it is about a 14 year old boy who got burnt, and is therefore a human interest story. This has the news value 'Balance', as it is a good story that could be used to make up for a number of bad stories on the news.
