I have long-running conversations/arguments with several friends about reading vs. viewing news (spoiler, I'm on the reading side). And a big reason I am on that side is the ability to pause, reflect, and pursue verification and provenance (a word I use quite often; my sister worked in museums and can wax poetically and annoyingly about its definition).
Even when I "win" these arguments on the merits and get agreement, it doesn't change a nonreader's habits. That's one of the roots we have to get to. Changing habits is one of the hardest things humans try to do. Ask any smoker/former smoker.
I think this is the key issue to solve for: "some level of verification and provenance travel with that information."
That's a pretty important one....
