Sure, but there's loads of times relevant, and little known, background is not mentioned at all. The rebrand, rename or nuance of former dispute or civil war is quite often the reason the modern event is an issue in the first place. Having become something of a history buff over the years, I quite often know at least some of the background behind a story, or what came before. I find it disappointing to just get events reported, without effort to give that necessary context. It can reveal the "why".
