Slow News: A Manifesto for the Critical News Consumer
Description:
With this provocative and concise book, journalist Peter Laufer launches a Slow News movement, inviting us to question the value of the perpetual empty-calorie news that accompanies our daily lives.
Slow News: A Manifesto for the Critical News Consumer examines the nature of news in the context of the increasingly frenetic pace of modern life in the twenty-first century. Taking a cue from the slow food movement, Laufer suggests that we step back from the constant barrage of instant news to consider news thoughtfully and thoroughly. He argues that it is valuable for both the journalist in the field and the news consumer at home to take the time to ruminate on most news events.
Inspired by Michael Pollan’s Food Rules, Laufer offers twenty-eight rules―including “Trust accuracy over time,” “Know your sources,” and “Don’t become a news junkie”―to guide us in a gradual quest for slower news.
