To have news value is to have a tin can tied to one's tail.

Summary

This quote symbolizes how being newsworthy often comes at the expense of one's freedom, autonomy, or peace of mind. It implies that the pursuit of constantly staying relevant and capturing attention can be burdensome and restrictive, similar to a person walking around with a tin can tied to their tail, unable to move freely or escape the noise and scrutiny. The quote illustrates the trade-off between being in the public eye, constantly subjected to media attention, and retaining personal privacy or tranquility.
