People want news. It’s a need as primitive as gossip. In fact, gossip is probably the answer to your question. But gossip is neither fast nor reliable, so people will inevitably invent news organizations to satisfy the need, as much as we have invented agriculture to satisfy our need to eat.
Perhaps when you say “news organizations” you intend a much more narrow definition, like maybe a “privately owned news organization”? That’s a dramatically different question though.
I’ll tell you the part you don’t want to hear: You compromised with your wife. Compromises suck. But they are better than no compromises. Having a child is the ultimate commitment.
Here’s the good news: the hardest part is behind you. Tough it out for a bit more. Everyday will get just a bit easier. New borns are not very interactive, so it’s kinda normal to not enjoy this part. Maybe you’ll get more out of it when the child starts smiling at you, or talking to you, or taking an interest in your hobby. Maybe not.
Also, you could be suffering from baby blues. It’s common, even at three weeks. Consider some support for yourself, not just your wife.
