News is recent information. That's the only qualifier. What's happening in Ukraine is just as much news as the fact I'm drinking another cup of coffee. And while I agree that a defamation trial between two celebrities is not noteworthy, I treat it as such by not reading news about it. If I see an article about it, I just scroll past it. But it is news by the very definition of the term. Not all news needs to be of grave import.
