Civilized men are more discourteous than savages because they know they can be impolite without having their skulls split, as a general thing.
-Robert E. Howard, "The Tower of the Elephant"
Did he realise he'd gone blind after turning the TV on? Turned on the light switch and nothing, then when he could hear the TV he knew the electricity was still on therefore his eyes weren't?

Can you clarify what you mean by "related to the news?"
Was his job to help facilitate the spread of recent information? For example, working for a newspaper, TV news station, or radio news station in any capacity? (This would include everyone down to the person who delivers the newspapers)
"Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?"
Was the room he chose to hang himself significant?
If yes...
Was it his room?
A family members?

Was he a white-collar worker? If not, was he a blue-collar worker?
No, I don't know (I'm not terribly clear on what constitutes "manual labor" for the definition of blue-collar, and google was no help, so don't dwell on this)

That makes more sense, so I too the liberty of rewriting your question into the required yes/no question format (I hope you don't mind).

I think the "source of attention" question is asking "Was his house the specific focus of the news article on the TV, or did it just happen to be in the background?".
Had he spoken to any of the news people outside his house (that he presumably noticed en route) before he came indoors?
A man riding a train looks out the window and sees a hand playing in the wind a couple compartments ahead of him. He recognizes the hand from a long time ago and immediately gets up. Less than a minute later he shoots the owner of the hand, killing them. Naturally he was arrested, however, upon further investigation, he was freed with no charges. How?
This one is somewhat convoluted but not very misleading. Have fun!

I wonder if there is a badge for that.

No to being a reporter. Can you clarify what you mean by "related to the news?"
Yes
No
The electricity being on, no. That he turned the light on, yes.
No, and no
And your efforts in doing so are much appreciated.

Just assume I'm always doing that.
Damn it, Ronway!

Did his family die?

Were the TV and the light distractions to keep other people from knowing what he was doing?
EDIT: reread the original question and remembered that he turned OFF the TV. So never mind, better questions are:
Was someone else in the house watching the TV when he came in?
Was his house on TV?
No
No
No, Yes
Was he in danger? In other words, had he not committed suicide was he in danger of being killed or seriously injured?

Irrelevent
Was the news report live?
Does the time of day matter?

Yes, Yes
This story has been bugging me. I'm pretty sure that I've heard it before, but I don't remember anything about it.
Well, let's get the time of day questions out of the way.
Was it morning? noon? afternoon? evening? night?
"Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?"
- Terry Pratchett, Going Postal
No,no,no,no,yes
Was his house about to be raided by the police or a government agency?
Good ideas are usually just bad ideas a stubborn person eventually fixed.
No
Had he arranged for his house to be on the news? Did he turn on the light so people would know he was inside?
Good ideas are usually just bad ideas a stubborn person eventually fixed.
No, no
Was someone else supposed to turn off the TV?
No
Was his house on the news because of something he had done?
Good ideas are usually just bad ideas a stubborn person eventually fixed.
No
Did he know his house was going to be shown on the news before he actually saw it on TV?
I am the Wordweaver...
Basically, I like writing stuff ;)
Yes
Was he famous?

Was he being evicted?
Was his house on the news because it was on the market?
Was his source the source of attention of the news program or was it merely in the background?
Good ideas are usually just bad ideas a stubborn person eventually fixed.
No, nor was he so famous that he was in-famous.
No, no. Can you clarify what you mean by "his source?"
Was he a white-collar worker? If not, was he a blue-collar worker?

Does his job involve transportation of people in any way? (directing traffic, monitoring traffic, driving a train, selling bus tickets, etc)

How specific is a "specific focus" for a news report?
What news people?
Yes
Did his job involve trains? buses? airplanes? cars? boats?
Was he a driver/pilot/captain?
"Do you not know that a man is not dead while his name is still spoken?"
- Terry Pratchett, Going Postal
No, no, no, no, yes, no
Boats, huh? I did not expect that.
Did the people die because they were on a boat that sank?

Oh god.
Lighthouse Keeper, his light was off=boat crash.
I had a light bulb moment!
Stop lurking, it makes you look like a villain target
When you do things right, people won’t be sure you’ve done anything at all
Temporary image until an H emoticon is added!
Yes
And we have a winner! *loud cheering, followed by a wolf-whistle* Congradulations!
Someone else can start another, if they like.
Oh! I got one!

Is the hand attached to a living person?
Did the person with the hand have reason to believe that if the man saw them, they would be killed or seriously injured?
Is Baron Blade involved in this?
