A brief summary of my experience:
1. I never had a TV
2. I've read print newspapers (local, international) every day for a decade
3. I've read online news (local, intl) every day for more than a decade
4. I've never was active (neither reading the feed nor posting something) on any social network except Tumblr for visual inspiration
5. Today I read just one single online hyperlocal news portal, beside tech news (Hacker News + newsletters)
The takeaways:
a. Less anxiety.
News are, well, inaccurate since Pulitzer / yellow journalism. Their major function is to keep you on a constant stress level. Which is good on tech news, hyperlocal news -- where you can act, but not good on national and international level -- where you are just a simple spectator.
b. Less biased. I know that I know nothing, so I'm listening everybody and trying to make sense what's happening around.
