I think the primary reason for this is that you have to fill a 24hr news station with something, so rolling headlines and a human interest piece in each story makes sense. It also allow's Charlie Brooker to do something quite profound with Newswipe. Here the news is reported, but not in the way we're used to. Granted, there's more bad language involved, but rather than trying to whip up a feeding frenzy of disgust, panic and worry, the viewer is left to use their brain a bit more. I for one thank Mr. Brooker and his team for questioning the norm. just a pity they only do one show a week at the moment.
