Make Updates into Knowledge

What we do:

News stories are written in the time continuum, i.e., a story loses its utility after 0.5 – 2 days. The next update is filed as another story.

• This approach made sense in the newspaper era because each day’s newspaper was thrown away by the end of the day.
• However, online the older stories remain

Because of this, we aren’t able to provide a coherent digest of everything that happened without redundancy.

What we should or could do:

Collapse news stories into a Wikipedia style digest (space continuum, also called map) aiding knowledge assimilation. In some situations, they can be organized in space-time continuum, much like Wardley diagrams.
