It's funny how the 'information flow' progressed, in the 80's a majority of the information we received was through one of three news channels (ABC, NBC, and CBS) - we found out what was happening around the world post-incident or through a "breaking news brief". In the 90's early 2000's we were exposed to more information than we could process and knew what was happening around the world in real-time, thanks to 24 hours news channels and the internet. Now, with social media, the internet, and privately owned news outlets we are deluged with so much misinformation NOBODY knows what is actually going on anywhere!
