This type of reporting is called a "feature story", as opposed to "straight news" or "hard news". The whole point of a feature is to tell an interesting but not necessarily time-sensitive story about something which happened.

Sure. I'm just tired of all news being of this kind (or long-form writing). I can't find any news sources optimized for communicating facts and facts only, as efficiently as possible.

All news is not like this. In fact, most news is not like this. I am not sure where you are getting your news from?
