I mean, I do agree, but isn't this what journalism is? Reporting on the facts? It's a thing that's happening, ergo it's news.

If there's a shooting and shootings have happened before, is that not still news? It happened after all. It's got to be better than just ignoring things because it's status quo.

There is so much stuff happening that to come to the tiny selection you can stack the filters to the roof. The first one would be: What would the people paying our bills like to see? What does our network like? What is our political affiliation? Who and which companies do we like or not like? How much drama or feel good stories does our current audience need?

It's so refined there is pretty much no meat left in the sausage. It is an engineering project and you are the raw materials.

Exactly! The audience is not a standing army but a moving parade. Rehashing something Ogilvy said.

this might have been news is like, 2009, but it's certainly not a new trend worth reporting.
