But it's coupled with the problem that you either consume all the news as the media wants you to, or you cut yourself off almost completely. It's hard to find any news sources that only bring you relevant news, instead of attempting to flood you 24/7 with literally anything that's happening.
The closest I've come is to ignore standard news media and be informed via things that filter in through friends, co-workers, and non-standard news sites like HN. I'd love to be better informed of what's going on, but I refuse to subject myself to the firehose.
- asdff 4y agoIMO its good to consider what is personally relevant to you. For example if you are into local news, maybe instead of following the local paper you read city departmental press releases and other information they put out to the public instead. The stuff the journalist would be reading themselves when they are writing out the story on that stuff. A lot of this public info stuff can be followed via rss or email newsletters too.
