Is there really a lack of news? To me, it feels more like information overload: War in Yemen, Civil Strife in Libya, Talks with the Taliban, Sudan protests, etc. There is some much out there “happening” that I need to find the tree in the forest and that does not include trying to follow up on stories that interest me.
Try this just for a change: Take some notes about what your routinely watched TV news reports, and collect those notes for even a month or so. After the month, go back and read those notes; how often was what they reported later shown to be not totally correct – or even downright false? How many predictions about what each story meant for the future fail to come to pass? As objectively as you can, think about how truthful and reliable your favorite news source really is….Yes; we ARE living in a News Desert in terms of availability of factual and reliable reporting.
You want news? Look at or read those that are not based off of corporations. Like Democracy Now, The Young Turks, The Intercept for other points of view on things and other things not covered by the corporate news networks.

In the news desert, they kill the messenger. When the government lies, the truth becomes a traitor. Free Julian Assange.
