Slow news definitely has value for people who prefers them. The best thing I did last year was to delete all my social accounts (except HN) and subscribe to hard copy of The Economist. It comes weekly, covers all important events around the world and gives good level of depth on the subjects. I would not consider switching to a digital source though. Paper is better, goes better with dumbphones :)
- Funes- 7y agoI'm glad you're better off after taking that decision, which is definitely a brave one nowadays. When do you get the paper delivered? I feel like I'd prefer to read it on the weekends. I might think about doing something similar. I already use a dumbphone, as well.
- roadbeats 7y agoThe Economist shows up in my mailbox on every Friday regularly. I live in Berlin, not sure about their delivery to other places.
- ploika 7y agoMine arrives on Tuesday afternoons in Dublin, posted from Germany in fact. If I renew my subscription I'll go digital only, because my physical paper is only in-date for a couple of days before the new issue is out on the website and app.
