I'm not sure that "the internet" in general accepts the belief that "The internet should improve communication not lead to confusion."

Since the appearance of the "smart phone" hysteria, many of the "newspaper" sites have ceased indicating a date of publication of articles, showing only "5 hours ago" or "94 days ago" in/adjacent to the posts (try to figure out when it happened, if you care?) and often omit any identification for linked articles to even tell you WHERE it happened.

In actuality, reports and sites within the music and folk community are significantly better at leaving sites up that may be obsolete but have information of possible lasting interest, and updating where it really matters, than the illiteracy rampant "in the news."

If you really need only the last and most current stuff there's always Twitter and the like, where nothing lasts more than a day or is worth more than 9 seconds attention. (Please note obvious SARCASM, not intended as a personal reference to the OP.)

I think the problem indicated is pretty well understood, but many sites, especially those maintained (or not) by individuals or volunteers, would have serious difficulties with making sure that everything stays "current."
