Books versus doomscrolling: Can Singapore rebuild its reading habit?

from CNA938 Rewind · host CNA

Singapore's new ReadSG movement is challenging people to read for at least 15 minutes every day, with streaks, goals and virtual rewards to keep them going. Hairianto Diman and Poh Kok Ing explore whether small daily habits can rebuild our attention spans and whether gamification can create lifelong readers. For more, they speak with Dr Sadie-Jane Huff, Editor-in-Chief of the Singapore Journal of Library and Information Management. She's also the former President of the Library Association of Singapore. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
