Once upon a time the mainstream media employed journalists with expertise in their round. Newspapers would have one or two editions per day, with strict deadlines dictated by when the presses had to start rolling. Television had two main bulletins per day and radio stations had hourly news broadcasts. The electronic media would break into programs when significant news stories broke, such as political crises or natural disasters, and newspapers would bring out the occasional special edition in the same situations, although printing and distribution logistics meant that it had to be a really big story.
