For example, News about Tangmo , a popstar in Thailand, reportedly fell into the Chao Phraya River from a private speedboat with fatal consequences. This news has a lot of news organizations interested in it because of fatal consequences.And it makes society want to know about this news.So, it has a lot of Tangmo news in many applications in Thailand.
