One of the things I've been wondering about with the 'digital detox' trends or one of the younger generations getting dumbphones instead of smart, is why haven't the papers found some way of turning back the clock to explore capitalizing on that when it's supposedly hard to sell news now. 24 hour news is decades old at this point and the constant firehose of events from every location on the globe is tiring especially if only a tiny fraction is directly relevant to you. I'd be interesting if they could make a more attractive 'news/analysis product' like a newspaper or the evening news broadcast which is distinct from what is readily available from all the other sources.

Any day now some smartass is going to start selling analogue newspapers like hotcakes. Speaking of, I wonder how much I can get neohipsters to pay for hotcakes on the street. Slapjacks, I'll call them . . .

So a recommendation engine hooked up to news articles. Google News already exists.
