Worthy of Detail?

   How exactly can you tell whether an event is worthy for detailed covering?  I believe that the only way you can really tell is if it affects a large area, is absolutely awful, or absolutely wonderful.  That may be a little vague, but it kind of depends on the event.

   If the end of the world is coming, then I'd say you should go into detail, because that's what people want.    

If a cat was saved from having to eat bad quality food that shouldn't be reported, let alone covered with details.  I can't think of one person who would like to read a saga on a cat being rescued.

   An article topic that truly deserves to be covered in detail needs to have informing the public as its purpose.  Anything that falls under entertainment doesn't need to be covered as thoroughly.  Entertainment is for fun, informing people is what's important.
