What's Newsiest?

The "newsiest" iReports are sorted in lists at the top of each section on the homepage and in other places around the site. Newsiest is a calculation that combines freshness, popularity, activity and ratings. The idea behind newsiest is that all the contributions the iReport.com community of users make to the site - stories, comments, ratings, pageviews - and what CNN producers pick for their own stories could add up to tell us something new about what people think is newsworthy.

What's Newsiest?

Discretion Advised

Sometimes a story that has news value can be hard to stomach. If you're posting material you think may be difficult for sensitive audiences, click the "Discretion Advised" checkbox and the iReport tools will add a warning to its page. Check the iReport community guidelines for more on what kind of content is welcome on the site.

CNN producer note

iReport —

This Bank of America building was struck by vandals on the corner of Fell and Broderick St in San Francisco. Clearly the work of an angry home owner taking out their frustration on this banking institution. All windows (8 total) were smashed and at least 2 hammers were left at the scene.
