Why does World News prioritize individual perspectives in reporting?

[worldnews]

[b]World News privileges individual perspectives because they illuminate the lived reality behind statistics. It can be all too easy to feel detached from national issues. That is until you hear one of your neighbors call you up to say that  a policy is affecting their life or a local shopkeeper describes the impact on their business. These stories provide emotional context and what we know to be true about reality. [/b]
