I’m looking for lower than instant gadification resources for the news. If I get a news paper weekly, rather then just constantly checking the internet for what usually ends up being the same stories, just another outlet.
There aren’t too many of these news paper companies today, and if there are other ways to reduce instant gratification for news that yall know you can mention them in this post.
If you’re not opposed to digital, then maybe you could set up an RSS feed reader to just update weekly. Or maybe you could just subscribe to weekly newsletters. Wouldn’t want you to get a paper cut.
Try the magazine ‘Delayed gratification’
It’s a current affairs magazine, but where the ‘current’ is delayed by 3-6 months, so they can write a proper analysis and not a live feed of minute updates
I subscribe to two newspapers. My local weekly paper (which is actually owned by our large statewide newspaper), and the state “business” paper. They both cover topics I’m interested in although the quality of reporting in the business paper is better.
On a separate note, if you don’t support your local print media, it will go away. The demise of local news outlets, throughout the US anyway, has been ongoing for a long time now. That has not been a positive development.
Reading a physical newspaper is lovely. Highly recommend.
I still like print media. My local paper is shit, though. I don’t mind paying for an online subscription to some of the major paywalled media sites, though.
If something is worth knowing, it’s worth having a journalist distill it down to the main points. I can’t stand TV news anymore, because it is all 10 seconds sound bites sandwiched in between long stretches of nothing going on.
