"Societies have always been shaped more by the nature of the media by which men communicate than by the content of the communication"
-Marshall McLuhan
from Google AI:
Nietzsche viewed journalism and newspapers critically, seeing them as symbols of a societal "debasement" driven by mass media and "slave morality" that prioritized superficiality and the "permanent false alert" of fleeting news over true wisdom. He condemned the journalist as a "paper slave of the day" who epitomizes the intellectual shallowness of Alexandrian culture. However, his critiques are not an outright rejection of media but a call for suspicion towards its power and a deeper consideration of its role in shaping modern life and truth.
