World news, to me, is stuff that affects the world at large. This is what would fit in news or offbeat on Reddit, but never worldnews.

Ah, thanks, this explains a phenomenon that has been troubling me.

To me world news is about news from around the world. Probably things that affect a considerable number of people, though, are more newsworthy.

For example, 315,000 people just lost their homes to landslides and flash flooding, and have nowhere else to go. Several lives lost.

I'm not seeing the story picked up much in western news cycles, and but if your criteria is it has to affect the world at large, that would be why.
