The correction will come when the News Orgs are limited/disconnected from the engagement feedback loop. News orgs are basically functioning as info amplification nodes on the network. The talking heads have assumed greater importance, than the journos who are painstakingly digging up info. This needs to be revered. The metrics (likes/clicks/views/retweets/upvotes) that drive this behavior of the news orgs have to be rethought. Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, Reddit etc could get together and propose a standard of what metrics are optimal to cause that reversal and then put them into effect.
