A reading list for surviving the news

The useful background material that cannot be squeezed into a show-notes paragraph.

Books, podcasts and essays for understanding how framing turns an event into a story before the facts have stopped moving.

A weekly news cycle rewards speed, certainty and recurrence. A useful reading list should do the opposite: slow the story down, restore history and reveal which apparently natural frame had to be built.
