The News: A User’s Manual The news is everywhere, we can’t stop checking it constantly on our screens, but what is it doing to our minds? The news occupies the same dominant position in modern society as religion once did, asserts Alain de Botton – but we don’t begin to understand its impact on us. Jan 24, 2017 As Alain De Botton prepared to write his 2014 book “The News: a user’s manual“, he recognised that when it comes to consumption, the news plays almost as ubiquitous role in our day to day lives as food does. Whether it’s flicking through a broadsheet over breakfast, listening to the radio in the car, checking up on the latest online, or watching the evening news on TV, we constantly consume what the news has to tell us. Feb 02, 2014 Alain de Botton is again brilliant in The News: A User's Manual. He discusses how politics, economics, and disasters are covered by the media - or rather mis-covered. He encourages more narrative in news and less 'objectivity' which he points out is almost nonexistent in today's news which is usually deeply biased.

He raises questions like: How come disaster stories are often so uplifting? What makes the love lives of celebrities so interesting? Why do we enjoy politicians being brought down? Why are upheavals in far off lands often so… boring?
