Answer:
The way the news is reported has been transformed by the digital news era and its 24/7 news cycle. Cable television and the Internet went from valuing accuracy the most to prioritizing speed and great amounts of content to maintain the 24/7 news cycle. It´s definitely a useful phenomenon as it allows the audience to have access to more and most recent information.

The need to present constant updates leads to disseminating news that doesn't provide properly fact-checked and reliable information.
