I think the curation and the algorithm-driven nature of the news is responsible for the great disinformation and discord we see in society today. At the end of the day most news is just information, usually it was done on print, of course different sources can paint a different picture but now we have such intense analytics it's possible to figure how much money you can make printing a rape story; you may even want people to get raped as it's a story that yields the best value! Profiting off human suffering has become commonplace, a terrorist story might yield significant amounts of clicks and ad revenue, with each organisation adding their own spin to maximize the profit (ads, data, clicks, engagement) Really, it'd be nice to redefine how news works entirely, but I doubt that would happen this century sadly. Real journalism is really hard to come by these days, even the most respectable soruces often fall short and I can't name a single source that I'd consider to be world class. It's best to not even read the news, very little interesting information gets published there anyway.
