I don't understand that modifier in the first place.
Presumably if the current adventure relevant news didn't break before the last time you had access to the media, you have no chance. And if it did, any time modifiers would be for how long ago it was news, and not how long it has been since you had access to stuff that had nothing to do with the topic at all but happened to be current.
