I mean, do you think that there has not been any news coverage of the economy, foreign policy, health or environment?  And while those ARE important topics, they do not encapsulate ALL topics, and the importance of each topic is determined by the reader.  We live in 2017, not 1930.  We are not limited on space for posting articles on the internet the same way newspapers are limited in space.

Also, this article is in the "Entertainment" section...which seems to fall pretty much in line with its topic and overall "importance".  So, when you ask the question "why is this news?", its a pretty arrogant question because it implies that only news YOU find to be worthwile, as important.  ALL news is important to some degree, and each person determines its own importance level.

There are other newspapers which focus only on things like just the economy or just politics.  This is a local newspaper which tries to cover as many topics as it can.
