Daily news consumption — morning news, news during commute, news before bed — produces anxiety, helplessness, and minimal actionable information. Weekly summary (newsletter, weekend paper) usually provides equivalent informedness without the daily cortisol hits.
What changes
Less anxiety. Better sleep. Less helpless feeling. Same actual information about what's happening (most daily news is updates without substance).
Most adults who shift from daily news to weekly summary feel calmer within 2 weeks and don't feel less informed.
