Slow Media
Slow Media is a movement aiming at sustainable and focused media production as well as media consumption. It formed in the context of a massive acceleration of news distribution ending in almost real-time digital media such as Twitter. Beginning 2010 many local Slow Media initiatives formed in the USA and Europe (Germany, France, Italy) leading to a high attention in mass-media. Others experiment with a reduction of their daily media intake and log their efforts online ("Slow Media Diet").

Famous quotes containing the words slow and/or media:
“And set off briskly for so slow a thing,
Still going every which way in the joints, though,
So that it looked like lightning or a scribble.”
