Review of week 14 – Read Less Newspapers

By doing this week’s bettering yourself exercise, “Read Less Newspapers”, I learned that it is easier for me to watch the news on television or the internet. In a way, I am creating my own newspaper by choosing which stories interest me, and editing out the sensational.

When I had a daily subscription to the newspaper, I felt obligated to read it, or at least skim through it, as another copy would be delivered the next day, and yesterday’s newspaper is out of date.

I enjoyed Conan O’Briens’ joke at The Washington Press Bureau dinner this week:

“If you don’t believe newspapers are a thing of the past, ask my blacksmith”.
