How do you deal with local news in your game?

I like writing the stories of what happened in my game. That's where all of my creative energy goes. Sometimes, I add stuff to help the storyline, but just out of curiosity, until I totally turned off NS, I would have a look at the 'news' if you will, from the mailbox. That's how I learned I didn't have it completely turned off, when I had to restart my save. Sheesh. But, I have decided I'm going to take all of the chapters I wrote up for the save previous to this one and put them into a notebook, just for grins and giggles.
