This is what drives me nuts about "modern journalism".

We have a subject/headline that tells us she's on life support after 
falling from a balcony.

Then the article starts and adds one more detail-- what she's best know 
for-- before repeating that she's on life support after falling from a 
balcony.

Then another all-caps headline which repeats again that she's on life 
support after falling from a balcony.

Then the second paragraph of the article which just repeats what she's 
best known for before saying for *fourth* time that she's on life 
support after falling from a balcony without adding any additional 
details or facts of any kind.

So now I'm halfway down the page and I've read the same damn thing four 
different times and I still don't know any more about the story than I 
did when I started.

And every online news article is like this. Headlines, subheadlines, and 
several paragraphs go by all of which just keep repeating the same 
information over and over.
