What is "the news you need"?

Paul Simon wrote: I get the news I need from the weather report. I don’t really identify with that as I am fortunate to live in a nice warm climate. The few days of rain and cold, well, let’s just say I don’t really need to watch the forecast religiously and leave it at that.

But I need my global news. I need to know what’s happening in North America especially. I like (a little) celebrity gossip, especially when it pertains to something of interest to me, like a movie or TV series I had recently seen.

So what news do you need to know? Do you watch the proverbial six o’clock news (I write proverbial because it isn’t always at six – here it’s at eight, e.g. and many places at either seven or nine o’clock)? Do you get updates in your email inbox or keep refreshing a news page? Perhaps you don’t like the news nor care much about it? Maybe you read the newspaper and are happy with only yesterday’s news?

So what’s news?
