A related idea that I’ve had is to present a time-lagged newsfeed and use AI to link to any follow up stories.
“hey, remember how everyone was panicking about the price of eggs a few months ago? Well, prices are normal now but only one person wrote about it so you probably didn’t hear that”
People get the impression that mostly bad things are happening because “this just got much worse” is newsworthy but “this isn’t as bad as it was 5 years ago” isn’t, and improvements tend to happen slowly whereas disasters can happen quickly
