Thank you for this. I've been deliberate in not reading news for a couple of years now. I subscribed to the Atlantic Monthly print edition which is slow enough to get some digestion rather than velocity. The most important outcome in looking for is reduction in anxiety and avoidance of getting sucked into pointless debates... It's very effective to say you never heard of Jordan Peterson (I heard of him last night) and you're thus physically unable to participate in the ensuing gender politics melee. What I notice about myself lately is that I go to Google news whenever I'm anxious or avoiding something. It's would be instructive to plot my browsing history to news sites with actual anxiety over time
