The news is mostly pointless non-actionable articles that essentially boil down to entertainment. That needs to change, journalists need to think about their audience and what they need and what actions they could take etc.

Take for example a human interest story about some guy converting his car to electric. Minimal mention of how he did it and no further resources for people who want to do the same. The article could have been reduced to just the headline and it would have been equally useful for its intended audience.
