The stories that will drive more traffic to the site.

In fact the most shared story is this one, about double yellow lines in an alleyway - but that's just what us imperialist pigdogs care about.

In Australia the ABC does incredible coverage of ALL WORLD EVENTS. Yes, they even do great coverage on things like Syria and the middle east. However, most people watch the 'action' and 'pop culture' news channels like 10, 9, 7 and bullshit like 60 Minutes, Today Tonight, Sunrise, Today, A Current Affairs. I can practically ignore every station save for ABC and the SBS.

Actually it's you who doesn't seem to know shit about journalism.

You don't go with the story that is most current. That would be moronic. You go with the one that holds the most interest for your readers/viewers. Things like photos are important too, as are relationships to existing storylines.

I'm sorry that the news has a commercial aspect to it (even if it's publicly funded) but that's the way the world works.

Maybe I do, maybe you don't know shit. Ever consider that? You are thinking about marketing not journalism.
