I don’t have a choice if I want to know the 5 W’s here. If every news article was like this, nobody could know the news because they would still be reading yesterday’s news when today’s news is published.
Perhaps AI could help here by rewriting the article into the format it should have used, but then you risk hallucinations.
Who are you to say what format a piece of journalism 'should have used'? You could apply your misplaced outrage about the 'Five W's' to any number of Pulitzer Prize winning long-form pieces from the last century.
In short, you appear to only be familiar with the mandated style for factual news-reporting - not for other journalistic output - and seem to think all deviation is in error.

If every article was in your preferred format, I would probably enjoy reading less.
Thankfully, there's a variety of writing styles, so that every one of us can find something we enjoy reading and skip the stuff we don't enjoy.
