I have a few of them for which I love every of their films differently:
- David Lynch (even if he disliked his Dune, I loved it, even if I also love the books, the film is something else)
- David Cronenberg (he made a lot of movies, perhaps, the worst would be Crash, but was still something I am happy to have watched).
- Gaspar Noe (very different kind of movies, I think I like them all)
- Quentin Dupieux (he is special, but I love it)
I think you are looking for "slow journalism" (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slow_Journalism)?
I found this site: https://www.slow-journalism.com/ but I am not a reader. Still this is picking my interest too. So I will try to look at other answers.
But more generally, I think, even the concept of "news" is not very compatible with how I operate.
It is ok to have an overview of what is going on in the world. But the news are very bad for that purpose because they focus on what will make people react the most. I think, on a full year, no more than 3 events are really worth my immediate attention. Everything else should be better learned via books, long documentaries.
In fact, news were the first "attention grabbers" and this is generally not good for my mental health.
At a time I completely shut off the news, and only followed radio station talking about unrelated subjects. Like philosophy, or some independant stories. And when you do this, you don't loose much.
If a news is really worth your attention, people around you will talk about it anyway.
