And yet, the experience of a social media feed is much closer to a newspaper than a publisher's catalog... Why do publishers and news papers have different sets of responsibilities, by the way?

Not really. You can quite selectively choose which authors you want to read and which you don't.
That's nothing at all like a newspaper, where everyone gets the same issue.

Because that's how the world works: different people have different jobs.
The newsstand/ISP delivers information which was put in readable form by the printer/website platform syndicated by the news agency/subreddit and authored by the reporter/person.
