That's sadly the expectation these days. It's not like a journalist finds something interesting and spends a week or two writing a piece about it. The "news" should be up immediately so everyone can find out about it as soon as possible with some easily digestable tldr style, as it happens by the minute zero content reporting that the social media brain lives for. |

- daily newspapers, which rushed important news into print as fast as possible (multiple daily editions, “hold the presses”)
- weekly news magazines, which focused on analysis of anything broadly newsworthy.
- monthly special interest magazines which combined narrow focus with in-depth coverage (Foreign Affairs, Byte)
Broadcast journalism largely copied the format - daily news (Walter Cronkite) and weekly analysis (60 Minutes, Face the Nation).
The dominant low brow weekly print news magazines (Time, Newsweek, US News & World Report) refused to change formats are are gone. The middle & high brow weekly magazines survived Slate and Salon just fine; we shall see what the likes of Vox and The Intercept and Pro Publica mean for their fate.
