I quit news a few months ago, but I felt guilty about it for a while. The feeling was that it was only through my exorbitant privilege that I was able to do that, but in all honestly... do people less privilege than myself derive any value from watching/consuming the news too? Does it help improve their situation? I'd say that in most cases the answer is "no".

What I've found is that the news I really need to know about reaches me anyway.
