The problem of current round-the-clock media is the inevitable lack of actually meaningful events to present. Real meaningful events are rare and cannot solely drive the for-profit ad-driven legacy media and social media. As a result, we see unnecessary "news" like: this public figure said something stupid, discussion on the implications of that, interviewing solely to instigate the interviewee to say something edgy and then broadcast it as breaking news, etc. And social media sites pioneered the idea of getting creators to constantly churn out "content" to catch the attention of the users. News should be event-based like: hurricane to hit this part of the world, and actually useful to the public like: parliament passes this law and what you should know about it and not what you should feel about it. And social media should be used in regulation, if at all. An actually useful news source would be the one which periodically lists the important happenings in the local area and (optionally) a couple of sentences about them.
