You’ll want to take that up with them. Let’s look at today’s headlines of that hard-hitting journalistic standard:
“These dogs shaking in slow motion will hypnotize you”
“Photo gallery: Pets get tricked out for Halloween”
“Utah Muslims reflect on their trek to Mecca”
“Video: Toddler’s adorable LED stick figure Halloween costume”
“Trib Talk: Vince Horiuchi takes your questions about Apple, gadgets”
“Utah Jazz preview: Strategic rebuild starts on ground floor”
“UPD: Decision on charges in judge’s bicycle death could take weeks”
If you want to think that any media organization out there is anything other than a click-baity website (NY Times today: “Alex O’Loughlin Ponders Future on ‘Hawaii Five-0’” and “PROPERTY VALUES What You Get for $1,250,000”), well, that’s just fairly cute at this point. Don’t ever change, the world needs optimists.
As to what story is important enough? That’s up to you, but since I’m not working in mass media anymore, I just do not care. You just should not be surprised that local newspapers actually send out reporters to dig through gossip on local celebrities.
This thread was a lot more fun when we were talking about Batman.
