OK, I'm going to be something of a curmudgeon here (what else is new?), and probably tread on some sensibilities.
Yes, the daily newspaper has rather too much coverage of irrelevancies such as described here (in my case, most notably the Jackson Doctor stuff). But turning the page isn't terribly difficult. And my local newspaper, for all its faults, does report some real news on the topics you suggest.
On the other hand, I have little sympathy for people who complain about the irrelevancy or TV broadcast news. Nobody's making you watch it. You already know that on the rare occasions that it tells you anything of interest, it's going to make you sit through many minutes of crap to get there. So don't.
