The 7 News Values

Timeliness - This fits in timeliness as it happened very recently.
"Obama Pays Tribute at Graves of World War I Soldiers"
http://www.nytimes.com/2014/03/27/world/europe/obama-pays-tribute-at-graves-of-world-war-i-soldiers.html?ref=world&_r=0

Proximity - Hays county is rather close to Travis county, which is why I think this article incorporates proximity.
"Hays County chips in $5M toward Texas 45 Southwest"

http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODE/AustinAmericanStatesmanNIE/LandingPage/LandingPage.aspx?href=QUFTLzIwMTQvMDMvMjc.&pageno=MTI.&entity=QXIwMTIwMg..&view=ZW50aXR5

Novelty - I believe this article fits the "novelty" value as it not something that happens to everyone, and even then, the situation is rather complicated.
"$1 million winner now broke and convicted"

http://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2014/03/26/1million-winner-broke/6944125/

Impact - I feel like this fits the notion of impact, as it can influence people to go buy bit coin, or just be generally interested in them.
"Is bitcoin value heading for $10 or $10,000?"
http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODE/AustinAmericanStatesmanNIE/LandingPage/LandingPage.aspx?href=QUFTLzIwMTQvMDMvMzE.&pageno=MTc.&entity=QXIwMTcwMQ..&view=ZW50aXR5

Prominence - Because of the almost constant coverage on the crashed Malaysian plane, this seems to fit the prominence category.
"Robot sub begins second hunt for jet"

http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODE/AustinAmericanStatesmanNIE/LandingPage/LandingPage.aspx?href=QUFTLzIwMTQvMDQvMTY.&pageno=Mg..&entity=QXIwMDIwMg..&view=ZW50aXR5

Conflict - The Ukrainian Crisis is rather large, and the conflict is described in this article and a picture(Apr. 14).

"Ukrainian military pushes back"

http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODE/AustinAmericanStatesmanNIE/LandingPage/LandingPage.aspx?href=QUFTLzIwMTQvMDQvMTY.&pageno=MQ..&entity=QXIwMDEwNQ..&view=ZW50aXR5

Human Interest - As human interest contains the emotion aspect of articles, this article fits perfectly as the family grieves over their lost ones.

"A year after darkest day, Bostonians grieve anew"

http://digital.olivesoftware.com/Olive/ODE/AustinAmericanStatesmanNIE/LandingPage/LandingPage.aspx?href=QUFTLzIwMTQvMDQvMTY.&pageno=MQ..&entity=QXIwMDEwMQ..&view=ZW50aXR5
