The textbook is nice and straightforward about this, pages 149-153 need to be learnt and understood but, in my humble opinion, there’s nothing there that won’t make sense to you.
We should take a closer look at ‘News Values’, specifically the work of Galtung and Ruge (1965) and Spencer-Thomas (2008). Here is a link to S-Thomas’ own website and his info on news values.
Galtung and Ruge are covered quite comprehensively in textbook pages 152-153.
You need notes and understanding of their work!
