Why do newscasters deliver the news as though it is happening in the present rather than the past? "Next up, a man startles a woman by getting into her car with her while she is having a nap in the parking lot behind the grocery store!" The immediacy of it makes it seem even more alarming. But it happened yesterday. The woman is okay. The man is in custody. It's past. (It's still super weird though. Who has a nap in their car in the middle of the day?)
