How do you deal with local news in your game?

I kinda can't be bothered to make any kind of news thing myself, but I agree with you, if the mailbox knows what's happening in everyone's lives, and the game knows things like Lottery and Accolades, there could be ingame ways to share/spread that news.

I think it would be awesome if "Gossip" could randomly spit out a nugget or two of such info. Or checking social media timeline. Or watching whatever relevant TV channel.
