Good. We don't need that much "news" anyway. And I think my need would be more than covered by national TV which is sponsored by taxpayers money and BBC, which also has no advertising.
There really won't be much of the value lost if we won't have sensationalized and invented news any more.
Another point to consider is that need for news or just for some brain filler: I am puzzled by appareant inability of many today to be alone and in silence. As if then some thought that they cannot be comfortable with start to be loud enough to be heard.

What's so important and fulfilling to know about the latest antics of some celebrity, or some crime blown out of the proportion so much that you will think a killer is waiting for you on each corner, etc. What value does it add apart from creating more anxiety? Not to mention that news tend to misreport things a lot.
