There can be no doubt that we live in a golden age of
information. If we want to know about something, we can Google it or wiki it
and be instantly updated with the latest facts. But how does existing sources
of media keep up with this world? Newspapers are constantly out of date the
moment they are printed and I’m surprised they don’t come with a time reference
in order to avoid being sued. And then there is the 24 hour news channel. These
channels assume that everyone already knows everything and that here is the
latest update. However, if you’ve just tuned in, there is no way in hell you
know the facts from the start. I appreciate it’s annoying that repeating the
facts of the story so far can be annoying, but these channels do need to learn
that not everyone is watching them all the time.
