>When did this happen? Why? Did people lose interest in actual news? Is there less actual news to report?
Social media happened.
People have been made to think that they have got what they needed from a news article from just the title, image, summary as the next shiny news article was just waiting below to scroll.
News media are under tremendous pressure to entertain the few who actually clicked the article and is reading it.
World over only those news media which started out as traditional newspaper have some journalism integrity left and are serving news as it is. They are paying for that by going bankrupt, getting sued, journalists getting murdered etc.
More over people are getting news only from those sources which gives the news 'they like', rather than going to source which reports factual news.
