I switched from digital news to paper and I couldn’t be happier. It took a little getting used to not checking the 24/7 news cycle, but it’s less stressful and the quality of articles is higher.
I did specifically chose a news paper with high quality content, and one that only arrives once a week to further the distillation of what News makes it my way, but it’s danish, so it wouldn’t do you much good. I’ve really grown to love the format though.
- reaperducer 8y agoDitto. It takes a few months to get used to, but going back to traditional media consumption methods (paper, television, radio) reduced my stress and anxiety/FOMO level considerably. The reason this works is because the newspaper eventually ends. The magazine eventually ends. The CBS Evening News eventually ends. That finality means I'm not hooked on a dopamine-fueled scroll->reward hamster wheel of diminishing quality "news" articles. I'll admit that I will occasionally slip and lose an hour of two plowing through the endless Apple News feed. But for the most part, I only use online news sites for breaking news, weather, and occasional research. As a side benefit, I have a surprising amount of extra time in my life to actually live a life.
- Symbiote 8y agoHvad er dansk avisen? Min dansk er meget enkel, men jeg kan købe det et par gange om året. (I think double-checking with Google Translate made this worse; now I'm just confused.) What's the Danish newspaper? I might buy it very occasionally, and puzzle through with a dictionary.
