Evolution of News Media and Pressure for Immediate Content

The evolution of news media from a once a day format to the 24-hour news cycle has led to a constant need to put out content quickly, sometimes compromising quality for speed. The incentive now is to publish stories as fast as possible to keep up with the demand for instant updates. This contrasts with the approach from the early 70s where accuracy and truth were prioritized to maintain the newspaper's reputation. Today's news media often prioritize grabbing attention with sensational headlines, resembling more of a tabloid approach than a traditional newspaper, focusing on attracting clicks and viewership.
