In "The News," Alain de Botton brilliantly deconstructs our modern media religion, revealing how shallow reporting shapes our perceptions. What if news actually deepened our understanding rather than provoking boredom or rage? A philosophical guide for navigating today's information chaos.

We wake to notifications before consciousness fully arrives. The first swipe, the first scroll-news has colonized the sacred morning hour once reserved for prayer or silence. Without realizing it, we've replaced one form of devotion with another. News now occupies the cultural throne once held by religion, complete with its own rituals, canonical hours, and unquestioned authority over our attention. Yet unlike traditional faiths that came with instruction manuals for spiritual hygiene, our new religion offers no guidance on consumption limits or interpretive frameworks. We're left drowning in information while starving for wisdom, perpetually informed yet increasingly confused about what actually matters.
