Slow News Day
I just posted a looooong item on morph advancing the argument that the Internet has not (just) sped the news cycle up, it’s slowed it down considerably. I’d love to hear your thoughts, if any strike you. (Except for your comments on my use of the profoundly dubious phrase “hot breaking scoop.”)
I really liked the post. It made me feel all hopeful about the potential for “news” to be more about understanding politics and culture through contextualization, rather than a vomit of meaningless, ahistorical soundbites.
Also, Hot Breaking Scoop was my nickname in high school.
