Serious Q: Is it *ever* a good idea for the typical person to read current events journalism as it’s published? Is it not just strictly better to wait 6-12 weeks, start w/ the Wikipedia entry, then work back through whichever pieces seem to acknowledge most of the relevant facts?
For the extremely urgent things, sure - if there's a hurricane bearing down on you. Otherwise, no. I like @stewartbrand 's "Science is the only news". Not literally true, but has much truth.

Though perhaps non-scientists should *also* avoid consuming science that's less than 12 months old to avoid all of science's problems with e.g. publication bias and statistical misuse, especially if the study's result is unexpected and exciting.
