In the past we got our news from newspapers that had it in their interest to grab your attention (like they do with web news posts) but they'd quickly summarize the story in the first sentence. The information would progress into details should you still be interested. So a story would be:
Headline:
Godzilla Destroys Tokyo
(Still interested? Here's the first paragraph) "Giant monster was caused by radiation leaks and went crazy destroying buildings.)
(Want more details? At that point the dates, times, background etc would be spelled out.) "Experiments with lizards exposed to radiation in Kyoto laboratory said to have created this monster."
So today, with the internet, the idea is to keep you clicking as long as possible to expose you to the most ads, so often they hide the point of the story till the end. This is obnoxious, I saw a story about how a little boy almost died after having a barbecue and the story would not say why until the very end. Having both kids and barbecues in my family I was hooked and very pissed that they made me read probably ten paragraphs before they said it was a piece of a wire grill cleaning brush that had gotten lodged in his throat causing an infection.
A brief example of the Godzilla story with the new way they do it would be "Tokyo Destroyed-Bodies everywhere-Scientists saw this coming-Started in a lab in Kyoto" etc.
Since I don't see a technical fix for this, I'd propose a free market approach: stories that put most of the information at the front of the story with details trailing off as the story progresses get to label their stories "Front End" meaning if you click on it, you'll get the gist of the story immediately. Stories so tagged will presumably get most of the clicks and be more successful at selling advertising. So the headline on the web story would read: "Godzilla Destroys Tokyo (Front End)" and eventually just "FE".
Now this is an honor system and anybody could lie of course, but they'd get to do that once, then people would go "Okay, SuperNewsWorld lies, I'll never click on them again."
I personally would only click on headlines tagged as such. If this worked, it would solve what I think is the most obnoxious aspect of how we get most of our news these days.
