E&P: The Pew Study Doesn’t Tell Whole Story on Young Readers
In today’s Editor & Publisher I argue that younger readers are spending less time on news sites because of social networking, mobile-dependency and an affinity for Colbert-style news. “Defenders of the millennial generation’s civic engagement had some explaining to do last week after a recent Pew study indicated that a third of us don’t seek [...]
