I didn't downvote — and talking about downvotes just invites more — but the faux-quote summary you provide in your comment is inaccurate. A more accurate summary, provided in the article, is "Get news. Not too quickly. Avoid social."

The author explicitly rejects the claim you are imputing to him: "You don't have to read a print newspaper to get a better relationship with the news."

The whole article, as I understood it, was about the deeper understanding you can gain about a situation if you take things slow, in batches, instead of seeking to read and post shallow reactions quickly.
