The News Addiction: A Silent Epidemic

Imagine standing before a room full of journalists and telling them their work is "basically entertainment." That's exactly what happened when I argued against news consumption at the Guardian in 2013. The silence that followed was deafening. Since 2010, I've lived entirely news-free, experiencing clearer thinking, more valuable insights, vastly more time, and an improved quality of life. This isn't just personal preference - it's a movement. Silicon Valley executives practice regular "think weeks" disconnected from news. Bill Gates is among them. As our digital landscape grows increasingly toxic, more people are discovering that cutting the news cord completely might be the most radical act of self-care possible. But how did we become so addicted in the first place? And what price are we paying for our daily information fix?
