Suggestion: New news story categories, including:
- Gain/loss in popularity for local player
- Gain/loss in morale level for popular player (right now there are "player X wants out of city Y" stories but nothing about "star X is really happy to be in city Y"; ideally, I'd also like to see the reason for the latest gain/loss in morale)
- Owner gives manager vote of confidence (a sure sign you're about to be fired)

Reason: Morale and popularity are right now a couple of bits that are just there in the game. People don't think about them too much, I don't think. Add in a couple news stories per month about them and they might become a bigger priority, particularly if my other suggestion about FM-style media interaction is added in (so you could tell a whiny player to suck it up or a happy guy that he's appreciated; these interactions could cause the players to gain or lose additional morale depending on their own mental ratings)

Priority: Medium. Again, if it works for FM...
