alt Hacker NewsThis is not related to the story as such, but I live in Aarhus and this is the first I hear about it. I read three national news outlets and one specific to my local region of Østjylland a couple of times a day. I wonder if I should swap some of them. I know about black trashbags being thrown out of a window in the white house and then I find an actually interesting non-tech story about something happening right outside my house here on HN...

No, I don't think there is a reason to switch.
This is not exactly news for people living in this area, you would have learned it at school.
There is a vast area between Denmark and UK called Doggerland where fishermen constantly being up mamooth tusks and stone age artifacts.
Not exactly related to the story or to your comment, but: is Aarhus as happy and wonderful a place as all writing about it claims it is? I know immigrating to Denmark is nearly impossible, but I keep telling my partner that if (or when) the political situation in the US deteriorates sufficiently, Aarhus should be our destination -- that or Copenhagen.
Archaeologists tend to keep such expeditions fairly hush-hush until they’re done with their research. If they don’t, they run the risk of treasure hunters ploughing through their find, destroying information, at night.
So, the villagers likely knew there were people working on the beach, but may not have known they were archeologists or that they found a Stone Age settlement.
wat do u think could be particular about the state of journalism in Aarhus or Denmark that could've caused this? i sometimes learn of interesting news about my country from external sources too that gets drowned out by more petty concerns in the social media news cycle
US political news has infected the entire world now sadly, esp after Global Trump Tariffs. Its like he wanted to make sure the whole world talks about him...

Something that's stuck with me is the time I walked into my local bookstore and found banners advertising that a new book by Orson Scott Card was already out and available for sale then and there.
Pretty much any other type of product (that I might buy) would have managed to publicize this to me well in advance of the day you could purchase the product.
To your question, I think the types of content delivered by the publishers you read are unlikely to change, and if you want to start hearing about new types of things, you'll need to find sources that cover them.
Seems that we focus on all the crazy stuff Trump is doing, just like we did the last time he was president, depressing stuff. All of it.
US culture imperialism.
I've sometimes witnessed newsworthy events. It was very interesting to see what media made out of it. Local news was very inaccurate. In Big papers the stories were more like fiction - using some fact from the real event as inspiration. It was surprising that local papers can't even get simple local news right. Only once I think the local paper got into a little bit of trouble. They wrote some nagging critic about the performance of some school theatre - but the event had been cancelled...
I think it is safe to say that using newspapers to wrap some garbage is where their real value shines. Reading the garbage wrap is something that people do, but I wonder why?
