Well, I think it depends on whether you count only "news" or if you count stuff like blogs or "social media". I'm very up to date (I think) on politics, but I don't feel like I need to read the NYT every day. In the Essay Aaron isn't talking about just the concept of being informed about the world, but rather the up to the minute 24/7 generalist news stuff. It seems like most major events have books written about them later. There were good books written about the Iraq war, for example. I also think you could learn a lot more about culture by reading non-fiction books then by watching the news. I don't think I learn anything about culture from the news, other then which celebrities people are paying attention too these days. |
