Calm news: staying informed without the constant stress

“Calm news” doesn’t mean ignoring reality. It means choosing a pace and format that supports understanding instead of panic. Here’s what that looks like in practice.

Calm news principles

  • Fewer stories, higher signal.
  • Sources and context, not hot takes.
  • A clear end to your news session.
  • A short reflection step to reduce reactivity.

A simple calm-news routine

  1. Read one short brief.
  2. Open one source link if it matters.
  3. Reflect for 30 seconds.
  4. Close the tab.

This is what Tiny Rock is for

The Tiny Rock is a short daily news newsletter built for calm consumption: a few stories, sources, and a prompt to reflect.
