Often times, it allows consumers an opportunity to know how they can get involved and what precedence, if any, was set by most current events. If a young mom and daughter are killed by a driver with four DUI incidents, the immediate public wants to know that they'll be protected by more stern laws. The public also wants to know what they can do to hold lawmakers accountable to amend existing policies. Hyper-global news offers precedence as it relates at a national level but also stimulates community organizing at local levels. Hyper-global news enhances hyper-local news coverage to insinuate greater prominence and action, locally. Hence; the public takes their concern from city hall to congress!
