How do you test a) ? How do you know what you don't know? :) It seems like you're saying that something is not important if you do not find out about it..

- vidarh 14y agoYou test a) by following the news and making a note of what pieces are "important" and then whether or not you hear about them via other sources too.
- neltnerb 14y agoCertainly a risk; in my personal case I read news magazines to see what I missed with the assumption that anything important would eventually be covered there. There were a variety of things that I was glad to be hearing about, but which I don't think hearing about sooner would have made me more informed. I could be wrong, certainly I missed Paris Hilton's sex tape entirely. But more seriously, there are very specific topics which I will miss by not watching the news if I have no other source of information -- particularly political action items and dangerous weather on the horizon. But both of those topics I am certain to hear about on facebook. Might vary by friend circle though, I have friends who work at NOAA as well as obama's campaign.
