In American English a phrase is used that is a more polite term for the “news”.  They call it “current events”.  Too bad “current events” is not about the current itself.  We would learn more.

Current as flow is mapped as a curve.  Curves are made of connected points.  We can call those points discrete events.  Does a list of discrete events tell us anything about the shape of the curve.  Not until plotted.

Wisdom comes from seeing the curve.  Information, the data about the points on the curve, does not give wisdom.

If you are interested in wisdom you can ignore the information we call the news.  Pay attention to the arc of the flow.
