I recommend you find some journalists who's work you find impressive and ask yourself what types of passive inputs could have written pieces like that.
Those represent what 1% of the bulk output of the field if I had to guess? By volume most news is wire service a la terse AP reports that get reposted everywhere. And they have to be terse because it's breaking news and there is no time to opine beyond reporting the inputs mainly as they are in shortform.
