News Flash

There's such a lot happening around that it's difficult to keep track of the news, and to really digest the import of a lot of the headlines.

There's some rotten weather rampaging through Australia, and the pictures of what looked like a huge brown flood of destruction just a hunderd kilometres or so from Brisbane, was certainly not good news for me. They said on the news that the people of Brisbane may be asked to evacuate, and right now, this is the news that is more important to me than the cold wave sweeping though the town where I am at or the onion dealers in Delhi going on strike, or the MLAs in Karnataka misbehaving in the House. It's because there are a whole lot of people I care about in Brisbane.
Ergo, lesson in News value: News of those closest to your heart has the greatest value of all
