I don't think anybody really needs to be 'informed'. What did people do before radio and TV (really not that long ago)? They reacted to situations as they happened, and didn't worry about stuff that was happening hundreds or thousands of miles away. Even if something on the news may eventually impact your life, knowing about it is still highly unlikely to really matter until it happens.
Combine this with the way news is delivered these days, which started in the late 80s I think, and it's even more reason to avoid it altogether.
