> I still don't get what you think is "newsworthy", or what "should" be reported on.

That people die from heart disease and cancer, especially when they get older, is common knowledge. That's what makes it less newsworthy versus a local homicide story that is not common knowledge.

That there is some amount of local homicide is common knowledge. See, I can do it too :)

The question about "what should be reported on more" is really about "which thing is worth spending more resources / attention / publicity" on, and I personally would put that towards a preventable disease that far too many people are dying of.
