I don't know how much you follow current events. For some, there's not enough time to keep up on what's happening; for others, the news is too depressing, and peering too deeply fills one with boiling frustration all too quickly.
My general view is the delivery of news is changing in dramatic ways, and will continue to change into ways we can't even predict.
