news is ultimately someone's opinion that something is 'news' in the first place. i went to mcdonalds earlier - is that news? i guarantee you vice.com could come up with some kind of news story about bored 30-somethings with nothing better to do during the pandemic than go to mcdonalds as a way to take a break from the internet. does that make it news though, just because a news site says its news?
something can be news somewhere [0], and not news somewhere else [1].

- HWR_14 5y agoNews is news wherever it is. No one credible talked about the non-story you mentioned. Trend stories (like you talked about with McDonald's) are considered "soft news" and is filler. Meanwhile, the person we are talking about was published on the editorial page. That's not "discretion about what news to publish". That is literally "this is opinion only"
