The news is everywhere. We can’t stop constantly checking it on our computer screens, but what is this doing to our minds? We are never taught how to make sense of the torrent of news we face daily, which has a huge influence on our sense of what matters and of how we should lead our lives. Alain de Botton takes twenty-five archetypal news stories—including an airplane crash, a murder, a celebrity interview, and a political scandal—and submits them to intense analysis. Why are disaster stories often so uplifting? Why do we enjoy watching politicians being brought down? Why are upheavals in far-off lands often so boring? What makes the love lives of celebrities so interesting? De Botton has written the ultimate guide for our frenzied era, designed to bring calm, understanding, and a measure of sanity to a news-obsessed age. -- Amazon.com. 0aJournalismxSocial aspects. 0aJournalismxPolitical aspects. 0aMass mediaxSocial aspects. 0aMass mediaxPolitical aspects. 0aNews audiences. 4aPeriodismo95668xAspectos sociales 4aPeriodismo91392xAspectos políticos 0aMedios de comunicaciónxAspectos sociales 94051 4aMedios de comunicación95669xAspectos políticos  2lcccBK  adpf  001040708HUaBJBbBJBcHUd2023-04-10l0oPN 4749 D287n 2014p00000118776r2018-10-25 00:00:00t1w2018-10-25yBK
