Has there been a bigger news year in recent memory? As a former journalist (I last did reporting in 1990 but have remained in the PR circles since then) I have a heightened interest in the news. This year had been remarkable for big stories. Has there been a bigger year since 2001?
MH370 (the Beijing flight)
MH17 (the flight from Amsterdam)
The death of Phil Hughes
The Martin Place seige
The new Senate and rumpus over the budget
Ebola outbreak
The comet landing
The warmest year ever
Ukraine and Russia at odds
The emergence of ISIS
Incredible.
