A Picture Is Worth A Thousand Words
Sitting down to watch TV, listening to the news while enjoying an ice cream is quite common, but when the news refers to someone in your family, it is NO LONGER the same.
Sentarse a ver la televisión, escuchar las noticias mientras se disfruta de un helado es bastante común, pero cuando las noticias se refieren a alguien de la familia, ya no es lo mismo.
You hear the news of an accident on the highway, you continue enjoying the delicious ice cream, but suddenly you receive a call that literally leaves you frozen : One of your sisters is lying in the street, she has just passed away and you must go accompany some of your relatives to make arrangements for her burial.

This is where the news is taken differently, obviously it affects you.

In average it works this way. If it's not close to us it's just news and to a group it's exciting news, good enough to film and place on youtube.
Exactly, I've heard some people say: The news isn't interesting, well it's positive, and it's NOT interesting.
sounds like those are what we call "disaster tourists", only happy if others are misery
Exactly
You touch on a key point, it is not the same to listen to the news as to be the protagonists
Exactly, when things touch us closely, indifference is lost and in what way
