With this provocative and concise book, journalist Peter Laufer
launches a Slow News movement, inviting us to question the value of
the perpetual empty-calorie news that accompanies our daily lives.
"Slow News: A Manifesto for the Critical News Consumer" examines
the nature of news in the context of the increasingly frenetic pace
of modern life in the twenty-first century. Taking a cue from the
slow food movement, Laufer suggests that we step back from the
constant barrage of instant news to consider news thoughtfully and
thoroughly. He argues that it is valuable for both the journalist
in the field and the news consumer at home to take the time to
ruminate on most news events.
Inspired by Michael Pollan's "Food Rules," Laufer offers
twenty-eight rules--including "Trust accuracy over time," "Know
your sources," and "Don't become a news junkie"--to guide us in a
gradual quest for slower news.
