If Company X developed a cure for cancer, that's great for people with cancer and their friends and family, of course it is. They would already know it's great though, they don't need Newsnight telling us so.
What about me though? I've got shares in Company Y who make cancer treatment products that just alleviates the symptoms and doesn't cure it. I'm going to be poorer as a result of this "good news".
If you want a more socialist example. Newsnight should be reporting on the news but also finding out how much Company X is going to charge the NHS. A cancer cure that isn't available to everyone suddenly isn't good new anymore..
