Amanda Ripley, the author of High Conflict (who I interviewed recently), wrote in 2022 about how she stopped reading the news after two decades as a news junkie. The news, she wrote, had become too constant, and too uniformly negative with too few \u201csolutions stories,\u201d and left her feeling hopeless and like she had a lack of agency in the world.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><span style=\"color: #ff6600;\"><strong>I don\u2019t think this means that we should abandon keeping up with the news. I think it would be disastrous if we all did that. (And I happen to have an extra-special place in my heart for local news.) But I think regular breaks are healthy, and helpful. As I prepare to turn in the first draft of my new book, I\u2019m grateful that focusing on the project forced me into a few breaks from the news, and to turn to slower sources of information and wisdom. From now on, I plan to take a news vacation every year.<\/strong><\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #800000;\">From DSC:<\/span><\/em><br \/>\n<span style=\"color: #800000;\">My news consumption varies throughout the days, weeks, and months.

I call the news on TV the &#8220;Death &amp; Dying Report.&#8221; Even the weather seems to have to be <em>deadly<\/em> if it is to qualify for coverage.
