Aye, very much this.
I don’t know it is in other countries but here in Germany some “baseline” news is provided from money collected via a tax, which is very awesome as it ensures everyone has access to at least some news source. On top of that there’s Wikipedia, as you say, but beyond that everyone still has to be aware that investigative journalism takes a lot of time and effort.

When i was a kid if you hit the newspaper box just right with your fist it would open and you’d get a free paper.
Sure, I’d only read the comics section…
