Any news cycle tends to repetition of stuff.

There's the annual calendar of "news" stories pertaining to major holidays, sports events, and political cycles.

If you've lived a few years (or decades) in any particular area, you'll find a recycled set of "places to go, things to do, sights to see" articles.

If you've lived through a few economic cycles, there's a very predictable trend through boom, cusp, bust, downturn, recovery cycles (NB: still in the downturn).

News is cyclic. Not everyone knows everything. Reiterating the basics every so often is necessary.

The challenge isn't not doing it, but getting the balance right.
