It is usually better to read about stuff like months later when the dust have settled. Watching CNN lazer focus on some "developing story" with almost nothing to talk about but gossip makes my head hurt.

If the local bridge is closed due to X people tell you.

Have you found a good place to read about slightly less current events? I feel like most articles are little salami slices of events as they occur, without context.

Not really, not on the internet, sadly.

On paper there are some semimonthly environmentalist magazines my wife subscribe to, and the news coverage in those is quite settled and nice in that way. I guess magazines would be the place to look, but those seem to be dying off or are losing quality...

Wikipedia has a few spread over several countries https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_journalism#Slow_journalis...

Techdirt does analysis https://news.ycombinator.com/from?site=techdirt.com

Prospect Magazine does yesterday's journalism https://www.prospectmagazine.co.uk/

RetroReport does event postmortem videos https://retroreport.org/

For particularly brilliant writers (ex: https://duck.com/?q=Kashmir+Hill https://duck.com/?q=Zeynep+Tufekci), I'll see where else they're writing. Sometimes that turns up mags I don't know about.
