I agree with this. The 24/7 news cycle ruined us in many ways, even print.

I’d rather have a journalist spend a week on a story (or more) and give more context instead of basically rehashing what was said by both sides.

I like The Atlantic, as it is mostly long form, not breaking news, but the impact of social media and 24/7 news has affected it as well.

Either way, I think the more you focus on the larger picture through long form journalism instead of the daily machinations, the better informed we will be and less spun up all the time.
