As more and more newspapers shut down and people rely solely upon online news sources to get their news and analysis, it is important to be strategic about where we choose to get our news and opinion pieces. In a recent op-ed in the New York Times, Nicholas Kristof describes the effects of an increased control over where one gets his or her news from in the online world, termed "The Daily Me." He writes:
"The decline of traditional news media will accelerate the rise of The Daily Me, and we'll be irritated less by what we read and find our wisdom confirmed more often. The danger is that this self-selected "news" acts as a narcotic, lulling us into a self-confident stupor through which we will perceive in blacks and whites a world that typically unfolds in grays."
