What's is important in the news?

I wonder if, when the Archduke of Austria Franz Ferdinand was assassinated,in 1914, people at the time, even realized that this death would be the pilot cause for the starting of the First World War? I doubt it.
How many people in the world knew who Ferdinand was, and who cared about it? I wonder if the press, at the time, even realized the major consequences that assassination would bring?
Even now days, people will probably pay more attention to big star news, then to any disturbing, and apparently minus, tragic event in the world.
Who’s to blame? Us for caring for gossip details, or the press for creating a prolific money resource?
You can say that no professional journalist can guess what events+consequence can bring, I think that, if they are a real good journalist, they can, at least apprehend and analyze upcoming events.

Annie Lennox reflects -Musician Annie Lennox has a new CD and a new outlook on life. She talks to CNN's Shanon Cook.

Since I became a fan of Eurythmics, I also became a great admirer of Annie Lennox.
She always had her own way in being in music, whatever was the image, the type of sound and music she fallowed or, simply by her amazing voice.
Today’s music produces big stars, that sadly leave a legacy that has to due more with their image and scandals then with their talent or music they do, or even the values that they defend.
Many artists simply vanish with time, so it’s great to see that this very talented lady is still active.
I hope lots of other young singers followed her as a roll model, instead of ruining their careers with a nonsense life.
For all that, I real loved seeing this small interview with Annie. What a great artist, what a great lady.
