Do you have examples of what context-oriented media like this would look like? After watching news about the pandemic, I found it interesting to see how short the collective public memory about the event was, and how little we remembered about the reasons for the decisions that were made early on. I wonder if a more context-oriented media might help people recall the sequence of decisions and their justifications at the time?

I think Wikipedia does a good job of being updated quite quickly with relevant news while also providing the context as deep as desired. I am not sure it is reasonable to expect each article to provide anywhere near sufficient context for anything remotely complicated.
