Fit to print

Recently, I read a think piece entitled “How Much Do I Really Need to Know?” It considers how the continual stream of news-style material dripping into our brains is probably not good for us. In fact, it’s exhausting.  

At Waterloo this evening, I came across this dispenser for London’s morning free paper: Metro. It got me thinking about how, when I was younger, the news was a fixed moment in our day to be consumed and digested and then left alone until another bulletin later in the day. Next came rolling news and then the non-stop news noise from social media. 

I ended up blogging about it.
