How is this news?

A Maryland man made a stop for lunch during his break for lunch and ended up winning $50K. It was news article published on a news site, written up by a news reporter.

What do you think news is? This isn’t a political-only news comm, it’s a general news comm. This was some general news.

I bet the guy who won the money certainly thinks it’s big news! lol

I’m sure him and his family are chuffed, but this isn’t actually news for anyone outside of their circle. News should be noteworthy in some way.

The reporter and the news org, UPI.com, found it newsworthy enough to post. If the mod of this community disagrees, then he is free to remove it.

It’s still not news. Have a good one.

It actually is news. In fact, here is the news link to the page it was under UPI.com, called Odd News: www.upi.com/Odd_News/

They are in the news business and have been since 1907. So I think they are better predictors of what news is than Lemmy posters.

It is news. Have a good one.
