Actually I prefer it to many news formats. If there is a big story (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_England_riots ) and you turn on the news or go to the front page of reuters.com in the middle of it they are usually focused on some up-to-the-second minutiae or the latest sub-story to have occurred in the larger story.

This is fine if you have been paying attention to everything up until that point.

This is not so great if you came in a bit late and want an overview of everything about the story.
