I long for a dedicated curated positive and good news channel only. There are so many things happening in the world that help humanity and can be reported in a positive and healthy manner. Perhaps Alexa or google news can just read out snippets of “feel good” news only and skip all the sensational,policitcal or celebrity gossip.
The other main point is that there is no need for urgent breaking news likes it’s shoved down 24x7 nowadays. Consume your news slowly in time, newspapers were great, you get a 24 hour period to collect thoughts and read well edited and concise news only that you can pick and choose over a Nice cup of tea !!! You don’t need to know what’s happening ASAP most of the time for all other local emergencies ,weather etc perhaps alerts from local news station apps or appropriate twitter feeds can help.
This sounds like an AI whose value target is concise truth. In a perfect world, I would really like that feed.
I think the closest we got was in the late 90s Google was heading toward this with their “organize the world’s information and make it useful.” Then they pivoted to “organize the world’s information and make it useful to us to profit” and noticed that outrage makes more money than truth.
