None of the previous responses even hint to the fact of **automated writing**. A growing amount of news is written by an algorithm today. The original facts are data which are then put into sentences by a machine. This obviously saves a lot of money and allows for automated A/B testing of news. (If we change that sentence there what will be the impact on reading?) It's a lot easier to put data into short paragraphs that have no connection to each other than to connect the sentences in a meaningful way. Note: I'm not a writer or journalist, but a software engineer.
