I’m a journalist and I’m changing the way I read news. This is how.

“I’ll read news, not other people’s reactions to news.”

This was linked by someone in my RSS feeds, I forget who, but that line hit me like a ton of bricks. I'm not on a lot of social media, but I do check a few feeds of people I like and I realized last week this was not great for me, so I started to do it less frequently. The above line makes me realize why it's not good for me. I'm still figuring out how I'll consume news, I'm not going to get print papers given that in my rural area that's hard and expensive, but I'm starting to see a way forward that works for me, I'll share more at some point, maybe.
