You probably can't stop checking your phone for another news article, another video, another chart to help you make sense of what's happening. And there's a (relatively) new word for it: 'Doomscrolling.' Navneet Alang, technology columnist for the Toronto Star, and This Matters host, Adrian Cheung, talk about their terrible doomscrolling habits, why we're all doing it and maybe, just maybe, how we can stop.
