journalism is information. whoever gets you that information faster wins even the old news outlets try to out-compete each other for speed to press. I personally think smart people are able to filter through a lot of information and synthesize the relevant. it's also arguable that you get closer to the truth with the diversity of opinions about a subject on modern media and once again this is better for smart people to make up thier minds about something. |

That's just not how it works.
Most people are more interested in accuracy, context, analysis, and trustworthiness.
Sure, papers very occasionally advertise that they were the first to break a story, but this is a minuscule proportion of everything they publish, and it's not the kind of thing that people switch subscriptions over.
If you're a day trader of stocks then speed is king. But for nearly everyone else, it's not the main metric.
