I recommend a book by C. John Sommerville, titled 'How the News Makes Us Dumb' from 1999. One interesting paragraph on backcover: 'news began to make us dumber when we insisted on having it daily'. As anyone who's tried to make or create (even just writing something about a topic) something would know, creating takes time. Now when something needs to be created daily or even hourly, you end up putting out junk.
