Newsmakers Hall of Fame

[albatrossumi]

So anyway, it's hard to explain, but I'm a bit obsessed with making lists and personal Halls of Fame... so here's another one  that I've been quietly adding to in the background over the past couple months.

It's based on google news and to make a long story short, it contains people or places or events that make the news and that I have a particular interest in.

So here is my list of inductees so far, with the date they made it in. I've divided them into categories too...
