Monthly current affairs magazines fare slightly better than daily news in dealing with sensational content.
This problem is even worse in tv media. Only a few shows do in-depth analysis of big issues. A notable example being Last Week Tonight with John Oliver.
Another problem not mentioned here is the different levels of interest people have in different topics. For instance, some people may want to know every little news about the new iPhone, some may want to know only the major changes, and some may just want to know when the new iPhone releases. The current news groups readers of all levels of interest into one or two groups only.
Should news have more levels? And would it be practical to do?
