I always thought the once a week Sunday paper format was a blessing in disguise. It forced writers to sum up the week in a way that anyone could pick up and understand.

If you go to nytimes.com right now, there are a bunch of stories which are clearly in medias res. It feels like jumping into the 5th episode of a Netflix series.



People talk about "slow news". I'd like a weekly or monthly "current events" review more than news, except for major timely events like an election or natural disasters.
