I don't know if this is a new trend, but there's this idea of news that news is "just the facts". Now I think most reasonable journalists would disagree with this notion, and they would say that news is facts + context. What is the significance of fact A and why does it matter. But I think there is a trend towards defining not just what information the reader should take away, but what conclusions they should reach. And I think there's a growing desire among readers for media to perform this function, but it's not because they need to know what conclusions to reach, but because they want to know that other people are reaching those conclusions.
