I think it's already abundantly clear that no ordinary person needs to receive granular news updates on a minute-by-minute basis. Reading the news once a day is plenty. It is, in fact, much more news than most people have received at most points in human history.

I once read that people who watched cable news were actually less well informed than people who just read magazines. Lots of hot takes are trash

Also the spread of news we recieve (linked to what you describe). I don't need to hear about every murder or crime that happens thousands of km's away. Not because they don't matter, but I can't do anything about them and the flood of shitty news isn't healthy
