By providing __2__ derails, comment or background information.

By finding a new __3__ on the day’s major stories.

By printing completely different stories which TV doesn’t broadcast.

This is one reason why so much news seems to be __6__ news. “Plane lands safely, no more hurt” doesn’t sell newspaper. “Plane __7__, 200 feared dead!” does.

Finally, for many editors, __10__ is an important factor, too. They prefer stories about people, places and events which their readers know. That’s why the stories in Tokyo’s newspapers are often very different from the stories presented in Paris, Cairo, New York or Buenos Aires.
