‘I feel really, really cross at incredibly dumb decisions’: #StephenSackur on the end of #HARDtalk

And there is reason to be! Reducing #journalism to #churnalism, through #livenews churning out #livestreams, #breakingnews and repeats 24h/day, means embarking us for a hellish rollercoaster of blinking stories all over the place with no way to make sense of them in a larger context, since there won't be any more of it. It's perfect for an era of #anti-intellectual rage.

I discussed #life, #death, #hope #medicine & why I love #palliativecare with #stephensackur.

Thank you #bbchardtalk.”
