I was trying to find out if there was anything at all in the story indicating a national context, or news-worthy significance.
I’ve found that in the last decade or so, there is a compulsion in the media to take stories that should be local to the national spotlight.
This is news in that it’s about a famous person dealing with a serious, even life-threatening situation.
But it is gossip also in that the famous person is not a head of state, but an entertainer. The reply I got concerning Coleman’s contribution to entertainment and lives was really the very best of all of them, because it caused me to reflect.
Every day, when I look at the headlines, questions come up in my head. Lots of them.
Was trying to get some of that when your government was hanging my nephew out to dry.
But I agree there are too many stories that aren't headline worthy in a national sense.
Watch for the different ping lists people have and ask to be added. You will then be pinged to the articles relating to that genre. Take for instance the GGG (Gods, Graves, Glyphs) ping list that SunkenCiv has. Archaeology and other items that have some historical significance. 'Civ also has several others. Islaminaction has a Islamic expansionism/threat list. There are many others.
