You are defining newsworthy thus:
"...a person, thing, or event considered as a choice subject for journalistic treatment; newsworthy material."
I am guessing you are a journalist (my apologies if you made that obvious somewhere along the line) but there's a difference between being 'newsworthy' and 'commercially viable', to which I am sure you will agree. Just because loads of people want to see pictures of members of the Royal Family sitting on a bench doesn't make it any more newsworthy than an austerity march, in the sense that many of us would perceive the term 'newsworthy'. I don't agree that just because there have been loads of these marches they become less newsworthy. Surely the sheer number suggests that the matter is being taken very seriously and continues to be newsworthy. And the sight of two chumps sitting on a bench really shouldn't be worthy of news at all (although I understand why it is).
Interesting that you use the word 'clients' to describe the subscribers to news....
