How (not) to read ephemera
I know someone who, like us, doesn’t have TV, but unlike us she doesn’t read newspapers either. She says it’s a very restful existence. She may be right, but I couldn’t do that: when I go without news for a few weeks, for instance on holiday, I do crave a paper. I often buy a foreign paper when I’m abroad, both to read the local language and see what people in that country find interesting and important.
There seems to be more and more silliness in the papers, though. And on online news sites too. Perhaps it’s only because I’ve been reading more critically lately.
