Peter Laufer

Slow News

A Manifesto for the Critical News Consumer

• Broschiertes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

With this provocative and concise book, journalist Peter Laufer launches a Slow News movement, inviting us to question the value of the perpetual empty-calorie news that accompanies our daily lives. Slow News examines the nature of news in the context of the increasingly frenetic pace of modern life. Taking a cue from the slow food movement, Laufer suggests that we step back from the constant barrage of instant news to consider news thoughtfully and thoroughly.
