Mind if I turn the question upside-down? What would be features of a site that you would like for news?

In browsing the comments:

Personalization is super important. How would that be defined? How personal? How impersonal?

'Signal-to-noise' is important. What does that mean for you? What is signal? Do you know before hand? Can you rank a few items that are more 'signal' than 'noise'? What is noise? Does that vary from day to day for you?

Addiction is important. What is 'addictive' to you? Is that a good thing during some parts of the day and not others? Do you want your nephews to have access to that addictive news service? Do you want ot have a 'stop it' button to stop yourself?

New content is important. How new? What is content to you? What type of medium, like videos or text? A mix of many media? What languages and from what countries?

Any other ideas/important things to grep from this comments section?
