We know that the amount of people actually reading print newspapers are on the decline. But are they reluctant to reading news? Lynne Brennen summarizes key findings of L2, a membership organization affiliated with the New York University. In their research they focused on e.g. media consumption habits of affluent Gen Yers.
It seems that Gen Y is shifting away from "valuing original source content and objective news and information", preferences short form content and has a "surprising lack of trust for the tradition role of 'editor'".
