There are so many things happening in the world, but only a few make it into the news. I'd say this usually comes down to the media's news sense.

When you have an insight, you have a feeling or emotion or thought that helps you to know something essential about a person or thing. Insight isn't based on hard facts or evidence.

Insight is what happens when information comes full circle. You cannot make informed decisions without first having access to relevant facts. However, if those facts are not connected or interpreted correctly, you will not be able to make better choices in the future.

Information gathering refers to collection of data and facts. It means knowledge of specific events or situations that has been gathered or received by communication. Insight formation, on the other hand, refers to the perception one has of things through his deep understanding of a subject.

Fact: People tend to feed their pets twice a day. Observation: They tend to feed them at breakfast and dinner time. Insight: People feel guilty eating in front of their pets. As you can see from this example, the insight is the thought-process behind the fact.
