值得一提的是
Use this to flag a detail the reader could easily skip past but really shouldn't. It is the written equivalent of 'one thing worth noting…' — common in news articles, analyses, and serious essays when the writer wants to slow down and spotlight a sidebar fact that adds context or weight to the main point.
Structure
值得一提的是，[NOTEWORTHY FACT]
zhídé yì tí de shì, [FACT]
How to Think About It
This is a discourse marker, not a sentence pattern with slots. Treat it as a single chunk that opens a paragraph and signals 'sidebar — pay attention.' It carries written, slightly journalistic register; in casual speech you would use 顺便说一下 or 对了 instead. Because it foregrounds the next clause, the fact that follows should genuinely add something — using it for a trivial point feels overblown.

Common Mistake
Learners drop the 是 because it looks redundant after 的, giving them '值得一提的，...' That is ungrammatical. The chunk 值得一提的是 functions as a topic frame — '[what is] worth mentioning is...' — and the 是 is what makes that frame work.
