The News

An interesting graphic from Pew.

My take is that they younger generations will be better versed. I stopped paying much attention to television news twenty years ago in deference to National Public Radio. As for reading I’m sure I read as much as ever but just do less of it in my News Trib. As recently as five years ago I think I was spending an hour and a half in the Trib each day. Now its closer to 20 minutes.

As for young people. As long as they are watching Jon Stewart I think they’ll be reasonably well prepared whatever they look at on the Internet.
