There's not much opportunity to learn to read the news. By and large, you either can or you can't do it pretty much straight away.

In the age of digital electronics, the media, with its tendency to want to be the first to break any news story, reports events very quickly even when they have not verified what they are reporting. When an event occurs, the initial reports almost always include some errors and are incomplete with respect to critical information. There is no time for reflection and adding context. Then they often repeat the errors and omissions until there is more clarity and they begin to report a more accurate version. National Public Radio thus tries to “slow down” the news, not report it immediately but to wait for verification and allow the journalists some time for contemplation and reflection.
