It's a good quote and I don't see it's application. The idea is virtuous, this execution does not live up to it or hit the same mark as what Hilton was talking about.

A good book can last decades or centuries, a news article rarely (if ever at all) has the content to do that.

I think that’s the point, in part—most news is just noise. If it’s irrelevant in a week or a month, maybe it never was relevant in the first place. Weather and traffic reports aside, I guess.
