news that waited a week so it could get its story straight and its adjectives fancier.

means a periodical or broadcast that analyzes and packages recent events with more depth and narrative than daily news but less delay than history books.

from the format traces to time magazine's 1923 launch, which bet that readers wanted the week's events digested, ranked, and explained rather than dumped raw daily; tv versions like 60 minutes borrowed the same logic for the screen in 1968.
