NEWSWORTHY

newsworthy  an event, fact, or person that is newsworthy is considered to be interesting enough to be reported in newspapers or on the radio or television. It deserves to be news

What about something with is praiseworthy? Well, it deserves to be praised.

And an aircraft which is airworthy, it is safe to fly (= it 'deserves' to be flown)

If a place or a work of art or a person is selfie-worthy, it's worth taking a selfie there or with that person.

Fridge-worthy: When a picture, drawing, printout of an ultrasound, reports card, painting, picture of a cat, picture of a dog, picture of a niece, picture of a nephew, football card, religious card, newspaper clipping, magazine cutout, magnet, birthday card, holiday card, restaurant menu, etc is good enough to stick on your fridge

So, -worthy, as a suffix, is very productive!
