Many news critics believe that recently, people have been producing too much information. The media has become very competitive because of the over production of stories and information by the ever-growing batch of journalists.
Often, because of the rivalries between stations and other broadcast services, journalists are pressed for time and some are likely to 'borrow' information from other sources. When a vital, significant event happens, there is a request for accurate information of the circumstances from the public. Because of this, the media outlets scrambled to be the first with the most precise, fact-based information; those who are behind will sometimes plagiarize or invent stories to make up for lost time.
Entertainment news and news that is considered very marketable generally entails extra media coverage, as well. This means more people covering the same thing, at the same time. Opinions, statistics, and perspectives are inevitably going to be shared, but many journalists fail to credit other individuals for their 'borrowed' sentiments.
News has to capture human interest, be timely, significant, near to its readers, and prominent; but mostly, news has to be true. News merely isn't news without truth - it's fiction, just a story told by an author.
