I see what you mean. It made me just realize something interesting though and that’s what happens to these news sources the papers the news outlets when there’s no news on any given day or if there’s really no news for a given week, then what do they publish?


There's no such thing. There's 8 billion people on Earth, there's always something going on.

The difficulty that news outlets have isn't finding stuff going on, it's narrowing down that list to the most important things. The news is such a tiny snapshot of the important things going on in the world.

Take a look at this list, for instance -- how many of these have you seen mentioned in the news recently? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_ongoing_armed_conflict...

You could easily fill an entire newspaper just with stories about those conflicts. Then there's the entire rest of the world who isn't actively fighting wars. They're doing art, science, medicine, business, politics, sport, etc... every day. There are on average 2,000 thunderstorms happening on Earth at any moment. There's no shortage of news.
