Doomscrolling
January 22, 2023, at 10:00 a.m. Online and in-person Rev. Dr. Matthew Johnson
Whether it is Twitter, Facebook, TikTok, forwarded email or Cable News, so much of how we engage with the news of the world is designed to keep us on the “outrage treadmill.” Everything seems broken and terrible. Yet, historians and political scientists argue that we are living in the most peaceful and prosperous time in world history. How do we keep our center when we deal with the news of the world? How can we have healthier online habits? How do we stop “doomscrolling?”
