> I think not consuming news is not a reasonable approach in our day and age

On the one hand, I agree that it’s necessary to be informed to some degree.

On the other, I think this can be done without consuming the news the way most people do, i.e. the daily dose and certainly the sensationalized stuff are not necessary.

I’ve stopped watching/reading the news on a daily basis, and instead I’ll catch up on the recent major events every week or two, sometimes less depending on the general temperature of things.

I value being informed, but also found that the majority of news changes nothing about my day to day actions, and of the news that does change my actions/help me make better decisions, it almost never needs to be consumed the instant it’s published.

Given the current landscape, personal habit change around news consumption seems like the ideal place to focus as an average person.
