- nomilk 2y agoWell, you’re right for some definition of ‘news’. I mean finding out things a reasonable person would want to know, for example hyper local safety/weather/crime events (someone was murdered a block from me, and Twitter was 2-3 hours ahead of all my city’s ‘news’ outlets in letting me know), what’s going on with regard to industry, nationally and globally, and of course updates in myriad specific/niche fields. I’m rattling on a bit but there’s lots of information an informed person would reasonably want to know about. It used to be called ‘news’ but I agree with you the definition drifted and what is now known as ‘news’ is complete trash.
