National news policies and priorities are still an interesting subject for me.
Much of the priorities are set by the the Associated Press and the New York Times. In other words, what they see as important is parrotted by virtually every other news outlet in the country. If you read a newspaper, pay attention to how many articles are written by AP or NYT reporters rather than anyone local.
One advantage I have as a local news reader: I was able to take the entire first page of my AP news feeds last week and skip it since I didn't think the hullaballoo about the Ramsay case was news. That's right. Many of last weeks news feeds had like the first three national or international stories on that one subject.
