People have different views when it comes to the importance of domestic and global news. In my opinion, we should base the role each type of news plays on the demand of each individual. On the one hand, local news truly matters to people who have no connections with the outside world. These might include primary school teachers, construction workers or waiters who normally only care about their duty

On the other hand

, for individuals who do business with overseas countries or have their business related to foreign affairs, international news is vital. These people could be politicians who have diplomatic responsibilities, businessmen who have cooperation with partners in other nations or tourists who travel frequently from region to region. Knowledge about any events going on on a global level helps them identify what actions they should take to bring the most benefits to their country, what strategies they should implement to gain the most benefits to their enterprise or how dangerous or livable the city they are going to visit is. As the matter of their professional life, consuming news about global
