What is new?

I often read CNN's Five Things AM, Google News, NPR.  There is often plenty of repetition between them and I probably don't even need 1440.  I am interested in what's happening but there is a limit.  I can see that what the news reporters and media decide to mention is a matter of judgment.  My interests tend to be somewhat limited and peculiar.  I admire Alexandra Banner who is credited with the text in CNN.  She tends to get across what happened without too much slant or judgment.
