Why do some countries have no news ?

Does it really? Or does it just affect India and the region?

If having some nukes gives you so much street cred around the world, no wonder every rogue regime wants to get some! :eek:

Journalists talk about something called newsworthiness, which basically boils down to "Does it affect me (my readers)?" [more here and here]

So, events in our neighbour Zimbabwe, clearly affect us. Events in the world's largest economies (US, UK, China, India), affect us. And events which have global repercussions (Israel, Pakistan) affect us.

So basically
Who does it affect, Why does it affect them, Where are the repercussions felt, and What lunch buffet is on offer?
:D
 
that wasnt meant for you either . but since u are following me around like some lost puppy you can join in , I told you before , you have always been the Robin in Batman and Robin

Yip!

I reckon the thread should be closed now that the OP has his answer... everything after this is just pointless babble...

EDIT : Or before it turns into yet another opportunity for some to show their intense love for one another! No matter the thread they cannot resist.

Reading the papers it's always the same places that have news - USA, Zim, Israel, India, SA, UK, China etc

When last was there a front page article about

Switzerland
Iceland
Austria
Peru
Norway
Tanzania
Kuwait ( yes, I know about that episode..)

Even Japan and Germany have little of front page value.

No major crimes, sex scandals, air crashes, disasters, riots, bent politicians, wars...


Does nothing news-worthy ever happen there and if not, why ?

Some are first world countries where civilised people stay, whilst others are in such a state of regression that the printing presses no longer function.

There is also very few of the third world that can read.

They will be reverting to drums soon.
They just need time to figure the language out again.

What you are saying makes no sense. Please could you explain?

I cannot see how that relates to the question regarding regular news reports on "USA, Zim, Israel, India, SA, UK, China etc".

Civilised society do not rape, murder,hijack,steal.
Therefore no news.

Third world countries do those things.
Therefore it is news.

Bad news comes from bad places, like third world countries.
Unless there is no infrastructure to get the news out.
When the regression is so far advanced,everything falls apart.
Therefore no news.

USA? Israel? UK? These are third world?

You may want to rethink your theory too. I'm sure you will find rapes and murders do take place in "first world" countries.

And we all know who is to blame for that - the Brits!!!!

In terms of their 'divide and conquer' rule, they divided India into a Muslim part (today known as Pakistan) and a Hindu part (India).

Well done, chaps. Make a mess and then just walk away .... :mad:

Have you ever noticed how many straight lines there are of the map of Africa?
 
Well...if you're REALLY interested.

Currently in the news in Austria we have two Austrian tourists from Salzburg who have been abducted by what might be Al-Qaida during their trip to Tunisia. It is believed that they have been taken to Algeria. :(

Then in Germany you have the current tax scandal where confidential information of German clients with bank accounts in Liechtenstein were stolen and handed to the tax authorities in Germany. Usually one isn't allowed to use stolen information against people in court...but for some reason the tax people can. A bit like the Gestapo if you ask me :rolleyes::confused:
