That was not the point. One of the ancestors said we're flooded in foreign news, to which another one replied "something something supply chains". While there used to be relevant info in the papers, there no longer is. Foreign news consists of Trump, wars, and some spectacular crimes. Politics, economy, trade, let alone culture is no longer reported on. Reporting nowadays is click-baity, less relevant, even for such a narrow topic as "supply chain" than it used to be, yet the good old days is what people have in mind when they think about foreign news.

Actually reading the foreign news ... how many papers are you going to check? And quite a few of those will only contain government approved news. Good luck getting info on Covid from Chinese news papers.

Journalism has been murdered.
