What you need to know:
For editors, the bad news is good news, if you get my meaning, while the good news is ultimately boring.
Searching the economic arena, we read that rail fares, which usually rise in January, will be frozen until next March.
Any other good news? Well, Manchester United are bottom of the Premiership. Oops, better not go there!
Kenyan exiles and friends of the country abroad will have had a hard time finding news of the presidential election in their local newspaper, though you can be sure that if the legal squabbling turns violent, headlines will appear.
Such is the nature of the information. For editors, the bad news is good news, if you get my meaning, while the good news is ultimately boring.
