the answer to your question is no where. The why is in parts.
First it is expensive. The news has various places. Sports/Law enforcement/Municipal or government news/financial news/ or other.
Financial or Sports provide more facts because of the betting environment of sports or the tax environment of finance. But even they provide little. But law enforcement , Neely's case is hard for facts. The testimony of witnesses is not facts. The video is facts. The audio recordings are facts. But, very little facts exist in said cases and news reporters looking for facts are not detective's or investigators or lawyers, who must trust opinions of eyewitnesses or law enforcers or the accussed for their job to accuse or defend in or out of court. A news paper filled with facts will have to have a lot more reporters going around, which means higher salary. Cause you are not going to fill the average new york times daily , take out the op-ed section , with facts from the same quantity of stories, you will need far more reporters which is very expensive.
Second, the modern audience or readership in the usa at the least, has been trained to love gossipy -opinion based news. Richard Murray News will not take over the news world in terms of readership even if the money is spent for a newspaper plus website equivalent to the scale of the new york times or wall street journal. So this is a money pit. Who invests in a losing financial venture absent some media hook that a newspaper doesn't have?
Third, it is the heritage of the news industry. Hearst like the early internet websites and the financiers who manipulated them, took a communication medium, newspapers or the internet and groomed it to be less quality. This is why some are fearful of computer programs labeled falsely artificial intelligence. Human beings with money are the ones who guide new technologies and rarely do they guide them to anything but their profit gardless of the damage of using a tool so poorly. Newspapers are one of many tools that fit that category of misused.
