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
- Read one short brief.
- Open one source link if it matters.
- Reflect for 30 seconds.
- Close the tab.
