Another way to look at something is newsworthiness. If it's something that's super common, it isn't remarkable enough to make the news.
I don't want to live in a world where terrorism is so common it isn't even worth talking about on the news.
Yeah 5 dead from a shooting at an American school is local news. At an Australian school it's international news.
Just to say it, I disagree with your idea of newsworthy.
You are entitled to your opinion however.
