Capitalism, and the fact (or theory, at least) that the news source the
reports a story FIRST is the one that people follow the most. But, your
question is valid. The editor exists as the moderator between the
publisher's demand for information NOW and the reporter's human
capacity to report accurate information in increasingly shorter periods of
time.

The publisher (and the advertisers) demand the information pronto. The
reporter has to get it all as accurately as possible, and it's the

editor's
job to fact-check EVERY story at the last minute.


They're not doing very good jobs.



If he/she misses a
deadline it is likely to cost the publication money and the editor his

job.


Getting it wrong consistently and losing readers as a result tends to cost
the publication money as well.

Yep. That's why the tabloids have gone belly-up.
