Just Like That: How social media is reshaping news, TV and the media landscape (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There was a time when the morning newspaper told us what had happened yesterday, and the evening television bulletin told us what had happened today. That world has not quite disappeared, but it has lost its monopoly. The great transformation taking place in media is not merely technological. It is a redistribution of power. The authority to decide what millions of people should see, hear and discuss is moving, slowly but unmistakably, from the newsroom to the smartphone. The numbers are difficu
Just Like That: Health consciousness, or health obsession? (opens the original)
Read excerpt
My children seem to know almost everything under the sun about health and well-being. At the drop of a hat, they authoritatively spout knowledge about calories, carbohydrates, proteins, probiotics, gut health, intermittent fasting, strength training, glucose spikes, sleep cycles and metabolic fitness.

Indeed, some of the most remarkable rulers in Indian history regarded intellectual curiosity, patronage of the arts, engagement with philosophy and the cultivation of knowledge not as ornamental pursuits, but as integral to the responsibilities of sovereignty. The Indian tradition produced scholar-kings and philosopher-statesmen with astonishing frequency. They ruled, but they also read; they conquered, b
Just Like That: Is instant fame eclipsing enduring talent (opens the original)
Read excerpt
There was a time when fame was expected to be the consequence of achievement. Today, increasingly, achievement itself seems to have become secondary to fame. We live in an age in which visibility is mistaken for distinction, publicity for accomplishment, and notoriety for fame, irrespective of whether there is enduring talent behind it. The phenomenon is not entirely new, but its scale is unprecedented. The smartphone, television, social media and the twenty-four-hour news cycle have devalued fa
