I read this article recently and I was just thinking about my news consumption and how much I want to be affected by it.

I feel like it is important because shit is going on in the world however I usually don't change my habits much over it.

I also think that there should be a middle ground somewhere but I can't think of it so if anyone of you have ideas please share them.

I used to live in a country where they would just bunch them all together: local, country, EU all in one day. Kind of sad, because it gives the impression that your vote only counts once in a few year, as I said in my previous comment. No midterms.
