I think I'm with Tim Ferriss on this one. News isn't news. Going back to Yellow Journalism, the business of journalism has been plagued with the need to spend time gauging journalistic integrity. With the internet it has become impossible to not only keep up with news, but also make sure that those that deliver it are trust worthy without an agenda. The majority of people cant do both, so they either just accept the news that fits their bias OR ignore it. I think ignoring it is safer and like you, I prefer mediums that can drill deeper. Stil overwhelmed though...but feel a bit saner
Thanks for sharing your thoughts Nick. I still struggle with the concept of "intentional ignorance" but it's really a necessary evil to make any meaningful progress on the challenges that I care most about.
The information source I reply on the most is NPR (National Public Radio, WKSU out of Kent, Ohio). The ability to multi-task of listening and driving makes it easy to capture the content. I find myself, as needed, circle back online if I need to follow up on an NPR article. LinkedIn is the another source I reply. Finally, Harvard Business Review, provides that monthly perspective.
Thanks for sharing Rob K. I used to be a loyal NPR listener when I had a morning and evening commute, but have gravitated more towards podcasts now, mostly when walking my dog or doing tasks around the house. They go more in depth on specific topics but I definitely get less breadth.
