具体描述
The news is everywhere. We can’t stop constantly checking it on our computer screens, but what is this doing to our minds?
We are never really taught how to make sense of the torrent of news we face every day, writes Alain de Botton (author of the best-selling The Architecture of Happiness), but this has a huge impact on our sense of what matters and of how we should lead our lives. In his dazzling new book, de Botton takes twenty-five archetypal news stories—including an airplane crash, a murder, a celebrity interview and a political scandal—and submits them to unusually intense analysis with a view to helping us navigate our news-soaked age. He raises such questions as Why are disaster stories often so uplifting? What makes the love lives of celebrities so interesting? Why do we enjoy watching politicians being brought down? Why are upheavals in far-off lands often so boring?
In The News: A User’s Manual, de Botton has written the ultimate guide for our frenzied era, certain to bring calm, understanding and a measure of sanity to our daily (perhaps even hourly) interactions with the news machine.

读后感

评分阿兰•德波顿出了本新书——《新闻的骚动》。以他汪洋恣肆的才情、对生活高度的敏感，涉及这样一个极具看点的话题，让我们不由得充满期待。德波顿通过对六大类新闻报道——政治新闻、国际新闻、经济新闻、名人新闻、灾难新闻、消费新闻的解析，引导人们认识各类新闻的特点和...
评分互联网的普及引发了4.0版的工业革命，也颠覆了整个新闻业态。它带来活泼生气和多样性，也纵容新媒体培养出一群任性的信息发布者，和一群被宠坏的受众—兴奋点越来越高、耐心越来越少，而这样的新闻消费者又推动着新媒体继续增速和增量，采取旁门左道博取眼球。于是，标题党欺行...
评分 评分感觉实际上就是传播学一些基础理论的通俗化描述和解读，提出了一些乌托邦式的愿景，作者自己也知道可行性不大。长处是文字优美，易于阅读，但对专业从业者似乎意义不大，可深思处不多。必须单独提出表扬的是，译文非常生动晓畅。

I had a really hard time getting into the book. 真的读不进去，放飞自己吧。读不完只能算没缘分
评分对每日摄入的信息稍有挑剔和反思的读者，应该不会觉得书中的批判多刺激。但才子的文笔实在太~好~了~午休时钻到楼下书店零散读几章，成了每天最期待的事情。//于是在local同事眼中更奇怪了//Dymocks已经撤出IFC了，Metrobooks你可要挺住啊!
