ONE EPISODE, A STARTING POINT

Long live slowness!

2:59Marco Montemagno · podcast RSS

Marco starts from reading First News, a newspaper for young readers, to reflect on the time print can leave for critical thinking and analysis. He contrasts it with continuous scrolling and the pressure for speed he recognises in his own technology environment. He then recalls communication rhythms shaped by costs and proposes a slowness that makes room for deeper attention. The closing passage links the quality of ideas to depth of thought. His assessment of the newspaper and media remains a personal judgement, rather than a general verification of children's publications.
