具體描述
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.

讀後感
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...
評分如果灾难不幸降临在自己的身上，我们对它的关心，就不再是一种无法承受的痛，而是对正义、同情的道德发现以及伴随这个过程隐隐约约的快乐。 英国随笔作家阿兰·德波顿，有些像是游戏玩家。不过，他每次扮演的角色却不大相像，在伴随人类几千年之久的宗教精神游戏中是一个无神...
評分互联网时代下，想找一个没有新闻的角落似乎已不那么容易。 当所有人逐渐被新闻所渗透，但却很少能意识到新闻的强大影响。 娱乐、政治、自然灾害、节日……我们需要外界的不安来消解、转移视线，以此获得片刻内心的平静。书中引用黑格尔：“当新闻取代宗教、成为我们的核心指导...
評分在京东看到最喜欢的英国作家又出书了，而且话题还是我格外关心的新闻，喜不自胜，当然要拍下。 如同他人的赞誉一样，阿兰德波顿是那种可以把扫帚都写得趣味盎然的人。作为文史双修的大才子，他恰恰没有把话题首先放在太高远的抽象名词上，而是离你我都很近的旅行、建筑、新闻、...
評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...

评分對每日攝入的信息稍有挑剔和反思的讀者，應該不會覺得書中的批判多刺激。但纔子的文筆實在太~好~瞭~午休時鑽到樓下書店零散讀幾章，成瞭每天最期待的事情。//於是在local同事眼中更奇怪瞭//Dymocks已經撤齣IFC瞭，Metrobooks你可要挺住啊!
