Digital journalism has led to a surge in unnecessary news. The algorithm dictates what topics are covered, and the media produces numerous news items in hopes of being chosen by recommendation engines. As a result, news with striking headlines emerges from time to time.
The media's focus on certain topics can lead to unusual news stories. For example, a headline from 20 minutos explored the origin of the nickname Los Javis, referring to Javier Ambrossi and Javier Calvo. This type of reporting may continue with other topics, such as the origins of musical duo names like Andy & Lucas.
