Quote of the Day | 0124
The product of the news business is change, not wisdom. Wisdom has to do with seeing things in their largest context, whereas news is structured in a way that destroys the larger context. You have to do certain things to information if you want to sell it on a daily basis. You have to make each day’s report seem important. And you do that by reducing the importance of its context.
Joe Carter quotes C. John Sommerville in:, The “Now, This…” Culture: Daily news and the death of wisdom
