Why much journalism including mine sucks

Iowa caucuses - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: "The 2012 Iowa Caucuses are scheduled to take place on January 3, 2012"

Remember who what when where and how. This is what any story worth its salt was supposed to answer. It took me five Internet minutes - an eternity - to find the fact above. The date of the Iowa Caucuses. My first stop was a long CBS story. No mention of the date. Pyramid style is apparently dead now. And the need to state the basics is at least halfway out the window. Before we wring our hands over things we cannot change, how about dealing with what we have forgotten to do but still remains within our power?
