What a morning without notifications gave back to us<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Five reporters from the Editorial Desk agreed to get a printed newspaper every morning for a month. The rule was simple: read the paper instead of your phone for 30 minutes before work, and write a short note each week about what you noticed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week One: News with an Ending<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The first thing we noticed was that a newspaper has an end. Close the last page and today\u2019s news is over. For people used to endless feeds, that ending felt both strange and comforting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Week Two: Stories We Never Wanted<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

A printed paper shows us stories we didn\u2019t choose: an item from the agriculture page, news of a local cultural event, a few short lines in the obituaries that we would normally have skipped. Those stories, which an algorithm would have filtered out, unexpectedly broadened our days.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A month later<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
    \n
  • Morning phone time fell by an average of 40 minutes<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • Three of the five decided to keep subscribing<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • We talked with family about what we read more often<\/li>\n\n\n\n
  • The recycling pile grew larger than expected<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n

    We aren\u2019t saying print is the answer. But reading news that has an ending, once a day, gave back more than we expected. Reading a set amount and then closing the paper may be the full stop we had lost.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
