"News is like a food: it is the cooking and serving that makes it acceptable, not the material itself." Rose Macaulay.
This is the quote I always pull out when my team complains that their stroy isn't "interesting" or "gripping" enough. YOU have to make the story interesting and gripping with how you present the product itself. You have to be creative with your story and present it in such a way that will grab people's attentions. All aspiring journalists should strive to live by this quote and not just those interested in broadcasting, because it also relates to writers and photographers who get "stuck" with a story that they find "boring." There's always a way to make a story interesting, you just have to be creative enough to find a way to do so.

Question: Did you use this quote only because it refers to food? ;)
