The idea of scheduled dissemination for entertainment is going out of fashion with all the streaming options available. This works well because you pay the streamer directly and advertisers aren't part of that. I like this, because the service has to answer to me as a consumer directly. I somewhat think that the idea of scheduled dissemination for news and world events needs should go out of fashion in a similar way, as it would be less "corrupted", but don't think it will for a long time at the very least. The idea of news is not purely about information delivery to most people. People really want opinions about news far less than raw reporting of events. Also people find comfort, meaning, and connection in the ritual of scheduled content. For that emotional need to be fulfilled, they seek content aligned with their social and economic bubbles. It's silly, and as a result I keep my consumption of news to an absolute minimum.
