Agreed so much. Can't even count the number of times I thought 'what would have happened to ... after all these years?'. From time to time I do see for example documentaries going back to places years after a disaster (Fukushima, BP Gulf, ...) but that's from actively looking for them. Hardly ever this pops up in the news. Well, it's maybe not literally 'news' but if I see the amount of rather trivial events which do make it to the news I really think some money in media/journalism could be better spent. They spend weeks and weeks of reporting the same thing again and again when some major event is fresh but then it all dies out.
- hackermailman 8y agoThe media seems to only rehash an event if it contains political talking points they can use. The only follow ups you'll find is in journals/Google scholar.
- joveian 8y agoWikipedia can sometimes be good for this. But I agree, if they report about something they should report on what happens later.
